On Saturday, November 29, 2025, an emergency call at 3:20 AM led Milford, Massachusetts police to East Main Street and Middleton Street, where a 21-year-old male was discovered bearing injuries consistent with an assault. The victim reported a robbery and attack by multiple individuals. In the unfolding of these events, the Milford Police Patrol Division and Milford Police Detective Bureau worked to swiftly identify suspects Christian George, Mikayla Sousa, and Jaryn Platt as allegedly connected to the crime.
According to a social media post by the Milford Police Department, Mikayla Sousa was brought in for questioning and subsequently arrested later that same day. Jaryn Platt turned himself in to authorities at the Milford District Court a few days later. Christian George evaded capture until late December, when, on the 26th, he was taken into custody on warrant charges stemming from the violent incident.
The Milford Police Chief, Robert Tusino, praised his team for their diligent effort in the case, stating, "I’m thankful for the work of our Detective Bureau and Patrol Division. Once again, the members of the Milford Police Department have shown their commitment to keeping our community safe," as reported by the police department. The charges against the suspects are serious, with George facing counts including Armed Robbery and Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, both of which include an instance involving a glass bottle. Sousa and Platt have both been charged with Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon and simple A&B.
As per the police report, the investigation has progressed significantly since the initial assault, and all suspects are currently going through the legal process, where they are presumed innocent until proven guilty. The department encourages anyone with additional information to contact the investigating officers directly, with a point of contact provided in the police statement.
