A 34-year-old Fall River man who died from his injuries after a recent shooting is being remembered.

Gregg Miliote of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office stated Friday that Joshua Medeiros was shot on the night of February 9th near the intersection of Nashua and Blackstone Streets.

Medeiros died Thursday afternoon at Saint Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford after being on life support for several days due to being shot in the head.

Medeiros was described as a beautiful soul who loved to sing and to make everyone laugh.

Fall River Reporter saw at least a half dozen evidence cones in the back of the Stop & Shop shortly after the fatal shooting. Family members say over a dozen rounds were fired.

Those who knew Medeiros understandably want justice to be served and the person responsible for his murder to be captured.

Visitation will be held Saturday, February 24, at the Auclair Funeral Home, 690 South Main St., from 1:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. with a funeral service in the funeral home at 4:00 P.M.
