Arrested: Who Is Raul Eliah Valle, 16? James McGrath Stabbing Suspect Arrested
Raul Eliah Valle, 16, of Milford, faces one count of murder and two charges of first-degree assault for stabbing McGrath, 17, and others at a home party on Saturday.
The mother of a Maryland woman who went missing for three days before being found stabbed to death in a small stream earlier this year is speaking out for the first time since her son’s high school friend was arrested and charged with murder in the savage slaying this week.
Valle’s defense attorney, Jake Donovan, told reporters outside the courtroom Thursday, “Obviously, this is a horrible tragedy for everyone involved. Making any pronouncements would be reckless before he has had the opportunity to review all of the facts in the case.
According to the warrant, Valle was at a party on Shelton’s Lazy Brook Road Saturday night for students from St. Joseph High School in Trumbull.
A group of students from Shelton High School arrived, and a fight broke out between two groups from rival schools.
According to Donovan, the matter was shifted to Milford court, and the next hearing is slated for June 7.
He was ordered jailed on a $2 million bond and is due in court on Wednesday, according to police.
