Charles Young was previously charged with Mr. Nixon’s murder.
The Bridgeport Office of the State’s Attorney and the Bridgeport Police Department’s Homicide Unit have kept the investigation into Mr. Nixon’s killing on-going. Additional evidence led to Mckoy also being charged.
The investigation showed Young and Mckoy together inside the club and leaving together after the shooting.
