A devastating shooting incident at a house party in Massachusetts has claimed the life of a 16-year-old teenager, leaving the community in shock and grief. The victim, whose identity has not been released due to his family being out of the country, was from Bellingham and a student of Bellingham Public Schools.
Three individuals, Wallisom Texeira Da Silva, 20, of Hyde Park, Arnoldo Nogueira Filho, 19, of Northborough, and Pedro Desouza-Passos, 27, of Rockland, have been arrested and charged with weapons-related offenses in connection with the shooting. All three are being held without bail pending dangerousness hearings.
According to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr., the shooting occurred at a large party at 333 Howard St. in Northborough, where approximately 300 people were present. Partygoers reported a weapons exhibition to police around 1 a.m. on Sunday, and upon arrival, officers heard multiple gunshots before entering the property.
The 16-year-old victim was treated by Northborough firefighters and later pronounced dead at UMass Memorial Medical Centre in Worcester. Another 17-year-old was shot in the buttocks and treated at Marlborough Hospital, while others were denied admission for non-life-threatening injuries.
The investigation led to the recovery of bullets, magazines, and a pistol, with all three defendants hiding behind a whiteboard in court to avoid cameras and the public. Wallisom and Arnoldo had ICE detainers, according to prosecutors.
The community is in mourning, and our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the victim. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of gun safety and responsible behavior.
