Correia, of Bellingham, tragically lost his life when gunshots rang out at 333 Howard Street. Several other people were wounded at the birthday party that turned into a wild free-for-all.
Around 1 a.m. on the morning of Correia’s death, a partygoer flagged down an officer and reported that someone was brandishing a firearm. Responding officers then heard several gunshots at the home, which had about 300 people packed inside.
Correia was carried down a hill and taken to UMass Memorial Medical Center, and pronounced dead, where he was pronounced dead. Three other people, including a 17-year-old, were treated at Marlboro Hospital and released.
Police said at the time that the home is on a property with an Air BnB and neighbors told Boston 25 the home is known for hosting big gatherings.
Officers and partygoers described the May 12 gathering “as chaotic.”
