Fall River Police Department arrests two 18-year-olds in connection with evening shooting
Two men have been arrested in connection with Thursday’s shooting in Fall River.
According to Det. Sergeant Moses Pereira, at 7:00 p.m. the Fall River Police Department received several calls reporting that a shooting had occurred in the area of Tremont Street and Pine Street. Initial reports indicated that the suspects involved in the shooting had fled the scene in a green SUV.
Responding officers located 4 spent shell casings in the intersection at Pine Street and Tremont Street.
It was determined that no people or property sustained damage as a result of the incident.
Video surveillance obtained from the area assisted investigators in identifying the suspect vehicle as well as the individuals involved in the incident. Having seen the vehicle earlier in their shift, the Vice Intelligence and Gang Unit was able to identify the vehicle involved in the shooting.
Perreira stated that a collaborative effort between the Uniform Division, Major Crimes Division, Special Operations Division, Gun Violence Task Force, and the Vice Intelligence and Gang Unit resulted in not only locating the vehicle suspected in the incident, but the occupants of that vehicle were also located at an address they are known to frequent.
Roney Morales, 18, was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm without a license to carry, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, carrying a loaded firearm in public without a license to carry, and three counts of armed assault to murder.
Jayvon Murchison, 18, was arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact.
Perreira stated that additional charges may follow, as investigators continue to review video surveillance and conduct interviews with potential witnesses.

Dumb & Dumber! Tells us again how stronger laws would’ve prevented this? Neither of these idiots could legally own a firearm to begin with. The system will slap their wrist send them on their way in the name of restorative justice and this wont be the last time you her from these morons.
