Trial set to begin concerning fatal shooting of Fall River’s Maurice Timberlake
A Fall River man is set to stand trial Monday concerning the murder of another man.
Fall River Police received 911 calls around 4:30 p.m. on Valentine’s Day 2018 regarding shots fired and a male victim in the area of 408 South Main Street. When police and other first responders arrived on scene, they located 24-year-old Maurice Timberlake of Fall River who had sustained gunshot wounds. The victim was rushed to Saint Anne’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Timberlake was reportedly leaving the courthouse when he was shot.
A then 19-year-old Keishon Workman was taken into custody by Fall River Police in the Corky Row section of Fall River shortly after the shooting was reported.
Workman is facing Murder and Carrying a Firearm Without a License charges.
According to multiple reports at the time of arraignment, Workman reportedly told police that he thought that Timberlake had shot him in a previous shooting and became enraged once he saw him.
The trial is set to begin in Fall River Superior Court.
