BROCKTON, Mass. — A man wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in Brockton last week was arrested Monday at Boston’s Logan International Airport, authorities said.
Massachusetts State Police troopers and the Plymouth District Attorney’s Detective Unit arrested 20-year-old Marcus Miranda on a charge of murder as he attempted to board a plane destined for a location outside of the United States, according to Plymouth District Attorney Tim Cruz.
Officers responding to a home at 27 Vesey Street in Brockton just before midnight on July 24 found 22-year-old Romualdy Pierre-Charles suffering from a gunshot wound.
Pierre-Charles was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials have also filed a murder charge against Govanni Carapinha, 23, who is currently in custody.
Wila Lyman, who lives across the street from Pierre-Charles, said she heard the gunshots.
“It went pap, pap, pap, pap and we knew it was a gun,” Lyman recalled last week.
Fellow neighborhood resident Tara Winborne added, “There were three of them [gunshots] that were faint then there were six that were really loud.”
An investigation is ongoing.
