18-year-old arraigned in Fall River Superior Court in connection to murder of 18-year-old Colus Jamal Mills-Good

An individual arrested in connection to the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Colus Jamal Mills-Good in Fall River was arraigned Wednesday morning.

According to court records, 18-year-old Giovanni Nunes of Fall River was indicted in June for Felony Accessory After the Fact. At Wednesday’s arraignment, he pled not guilty in Fall River Superior Court.

Nunes was held on $25,000 cash bail. If released, conditions include GPS monitoring.

Fall River Police responded to the area of Rock and Franklin Streets just before 11:45 a.m. on Thursday March 14th for reports of shots fired.  When they arrived, they located a male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.  The victim, identified as Mills-Good, was rushed to Saint Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was later pronounced deceased.

According to ABC6 , Nunes was allegedly inside the suspect vehicle, an Acura, when the shooting took place.

“The front seat passenger from that Acura fired four shots from a 40-caliber firearm from the intersection at Mr. Mills-Good. One of the backseat passengers ran directly at Mr. Mills-Good and at point blank range fired five shots from a 45-caliber firearm.” 

Jadyn Ortiz, 19, of Fall River and Xzavien Figueroa-Valcarel, 19, of Fall River were previously charged with Accessory to Murder-After the Fact and were allegedly in the vehicle. 19-year-old Amannie Chiclana, also of Fall River, was charged with Murder and Carrying an Illegal Firearm.

Nunes next court appearance is a pre-trial conference scheduled for September.
