Fall River man arrested on a dozen charges after city shooting, home invasion, vehicle damage

A Fall River man is facing a dozen charges after a city shooting and a home invasion late last week.

According to police, at approximately 7:00 p.m. on Friday, officers responded to a call for a male reportedly in possession of a firearm and attempting to vandalize a motor vehicle. While officers were enroute, dispatch received additional reports indicating that a male had damaged a vehicle using a large rock. The original caller subsequently contacted the police department again, reporting that shots had been fired in their direction. Multiple additional calls were received reporting a disturbance involving arguing and gunfire.

Upon arrival, officers located several spent shell casings and observed damage to an apartment door consistent with forced entry. Initial information suggested that the suspect had fled into another apartment. Utilizing the Crisis Negotiation Team and Emergency Services Unit, in coordination with the Major Case Division and Patrol Bureau, officers determined that the suspect had fled the scene prior to police arrival.

Through witness statements and investigative efforts, officers identified the suspect as 49-year-old Kysim Noble.

Detectives from the Major Case Division obtained a search warrant for Noble’s residence on Osborn Street in Fall River. At approximately 10:00 p.m., members of the Emergency Services Unit, Major Case Division, and Patrol Bureau executed the warrant. Noble was located inside the residence and was observed wearing clothing consistent with the description provided by witnesses at the scene. He was taken into custody without incident.
