Fall River man allegedly stabbed to death was father-to-be, New Bedford uncle held without bail
A Fall River man is being remembered as his uncle is being held without bail in his murder.
According to Jennifer Sowa of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, in the early afternoon on Saturday, New Bedford Police were dispatched to 68 South Street. When police arrived, they discovered 23-year-old Omil Padilla-Corsino suffering from life threatening stab wounds.
Padilla-Corsino was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
Records show that Padilla-Corsino lived in Fall River.
Detectives from the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office along with Detectives from the New Bedford Police Department identified Padilla-Corsino’s uncle as a suspect, 42-year-old Juan Padilla-Santana of Puerto Rico, and charged him with murder.
Through the investigation, police learned that the stabbing followed an argument amongst family members inside of 68 South Street.
According to a GoFundMe fundraiser to pay for funeral services, Padilla-Corsino was engaged to be married, and his fiancée will soon have their child. She said he was loved by many people.
“Everyone that knew Omil always laughed, cried, almost peed their pants because he was that type of man that he could brighten up a room and make everyone laugh.”
Padilla-Santana’s next scheduled court appearance is September 30th for a Probable Cause Hearing.
