As news of the arrest of Joe DaSilva Jr starts to spread across the AP wire, I thought it would be good to be back through the News-Times archives and take a look at what's been reported thus far in the death of Luis Encalada Bueno.
Police on Monday were still trying to determine who or what killed a man who died at Danbury Hospital after he was found in a Town Hill Avenue driveway Friday afternoon.
Investigators on Monday hadn't released the name or the age of the dead man.
"The detective bureau is actively investigating the circumstances of this death," Detective Sgt. Randy Salazar said Monday.
Police and EMS personnel were summoned just before 1 p.m. Friday to an apartment building at 66 Town Hill Ave., where an injured man was lying in the driveway.
The man, described only as a Hispanic male, died at the hospital about 6 p.m.
Police then returned to the scene and cordoned off the area with crime scene tape, said Elias Illesca, who owns the apartment house.
"One of my tenants called and said the police were here, so I came right over," he said.
The man had been lying in a corner of the parking area on the south side of the building, between a chain link fence and a dumpster, Illesca said.
"I'm asking everybody, but nobody knows who he was," he said.
Police have identified a man who died last week after being found injured in front of a Town Hill Avenue apartment building. But they say little is known about the man or exactly how he died.
Capt. Thomas Wendel said a thumbprint was used to identify 42-year-old Luis Gerardo Encalada Bueno.
Police do not know where Bueno lived at the time of his death. He was found injured Nov. 6 in the apartment-building driveway and died later that day at Danbury Hospital.
Wendel said an autopsy determined what injuries killed Bueno, and an investigation is ongoing.
"He died of some sort of internal injuries," Wendel said. "They could have been caused by a natural event, such as a fall ... or by an act of violence."

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
