QP Crimewatch Reports
Connecticut State Police arrested 34-year-old Zachary Apt of Southington on February 13, 2026, in connection with a homicide on Durkee Road in Somers. The State Police Emergency Services Unit executed the arrest on an active warrant. Apt is the second person taken into custody in the case; Jason Comes was arrested earlier.
The victim, a Massachusetts man, was found dead in Somers in August 2021. His identity and the exact date of the discovery have not been publicly released. State Police say the investigation has been active for more than four and a half years. Specific charges against Apt have not been detailed, and the relationship between Apt and Comes — along with their alleged roles in the killing — has not been disclosed.
Local Connection
Although the homicide occurred in Somers, the arrest of a Southington resident may draw local attention. Authorities have given no indication of any ongoing public safety concern. The lengthy gap between the crime and the arrest underscores that law enforcement can pursue charges years after an incident, even when public details remain scarce.
