It's a bit strange, the article is literally only 5 sentences with absolutely no information/detail about the case given other than it's an untimely death with suspicious circumstances. Yet, the last sentence states, "Anyone with information should contact Farmington Police Detectives at (860) 675-2460."

Police identify Derick William Mercado - Labonte of Bridgeport as the victim.

Was this a dumping ground or did the murder take place in Farmington?

The Derick Mercado- Labonte arrested in 2018/2019 was sentenced to 20 years and served 6 years for sexually assaulting a minor.

It is now 2026, so possible his killer was waiting for him to be released.

IMO!

Bit of a joke only doing 6

I agree…. A 6 year old girl he was babysitting. How is it only 6 years in prison! The system fails… Again!
