Three Arrested in New Haven on Narcotics and Firearm Charges
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Three men were arrested Monday afternoon in a narcotics and firearms bust at a residence on Davenport Avenue, according to New Haven Police.
At around 3:08 p.m., officers executed an operation at 238 Davenport Avenue, arresting 28-year-old Christian Ayala-Rivera, 26-year-old Jorge Asencio-Ortiz, and 34-year-old William Borrero.
A search of the property uncovered 14 grams of cocaine and heroin, a Glock 17 9mm pistol equipped with a laser sight and high-capacity magazine, ammunition, and an undisclosed amount of cash. Authorities say the same address had been raided in January, leading to two prior arrests.

Possession of a pistol without a permit
Possession of a high-capacity magazine
Possession of a controlled substance
Intent to sell a controlled substance
Interfering with police
He is currently held on a $250,000 bond.
Jorge Asencio-Ortiz, also of New Haven, was charged similarly, excluding interference. He too is being held on a $250,000 bond.
Christian Ayala-Rivera was hit with additional charges, including criminal possession of a firearm, and was found to have four outstanding arrest warrants. His total bond was set at $425,000.
The case remains under investigation, and further charges are possible as authorities continue to examine the suspects’ connections.
