One dead in shooting outside casino

MONTVILLE, Conn. -- One man was shot to death and another critically injured following an argument outside the Mohegan Sun casino, police said.

Steven Baron was arguing with Aldore Malboeuf inside a parked car when he was shot Saturday, said state police spokesman Lt. Ralph Carpenter. Baron was pronounced dead on arrival at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich.

Malboeuf suffered stab wounds to the body. He was listed in critical condition Sunday at Backus Hospital, a nursing supervisor said.

Prior to the shooting, the two men appeared to have fought inside a car, authorities said. There was no information on the relationship between the victims.

The death was the first apparent murder at an American Indian casino in Connecticut. The casino, owned by the Mohegan Indians, opened three years ago and is one of two Indian-owned casinos in the state.
