North Carolina — A 29-year-old man suspected of robbing a person at gunpoint outside a Connecticut bar last year has been located and arrested in North Carolina, Windsor Locks police confirmed this week.
The suspect, identified as Dontae Willis-Green Malik, is currently in custody on unrelated charges in North Carolina. Authorities in Connecticut are now working to have him extradited to face charges stemming from the May 13, 2023 armed robbery at the Blackboard Cafe on Spring Street.

The incident occurred just after 2:15 a.m. when the victim, who had been drinking at the bar, was approached in the parking lot by a man asking for money. After the victim offered $10, the suspect allegedly asked if he had “Cash App,” a digital payment platform.
