BARNESVILLE – The man accused of stealing multiple cars, breaking into homes, and leading police on a multi-county chase ending in our area is facing homicide charges in Connecticut.
Isaac Cintron, 32, of New Haven, Connecticut, was charged in the death of a 43-year-old New Haven man on Christmas Eve last year.
According to New Haven Police, Heriberto Cotto was found with gunshot wounds around 8pm on Dec. 24, 2024. He was pronounced dead at a New Haven hospital.
New Haven Police said the two men had been in an argument prior to the shooting.
About a week later, on Dec. 30, Butler Township (Luzerne County) Police attempted to stop Cintron driving a stolen car in their area.
He fled instead, firing shots at police. He then broke into a home and stole another car, according to State Police at Hazleton.
That car was seen on Interstate 80 and state troopers attempted to pull it over. A pursuit ensued, ending on Route 54 in the Barnesville area.
Spike strips were set on Route 54 between Marian Avenue and Fairview Drive, ending the pursuit.
For the pursuit, Cintron was charged with a host of charges — 39 in total — including felony attempted homicide, aggravated assault, evading arrest, robbery of a motor vehicle, burglary, criminal trespass, theft, among others.
He is being held in Luzerne County without bail.
New Haven authorities are seeking his extradition to Connecticut.
