Fall River teen held without bail in fatal shooting of high school student Colus Jamal Mills-Good

A fourth individual arrested in connection to the ongoing investigation into last week’s fatal shooting of Colus Jamal Mills-Good in Fall River faced a judge Friday morning.

According to Gregg Miliote of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, 19-year-old Amannie Chiclana of Fall River, was arrested in Stoughton by the members of the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, State Police Detectives assigned to District Attorney Tom Quinn’s office and Fall River Police.  

Chiclana was arraigned in Fall River District Court on charges of Murder and Carrying an Illegal Firearm where he was held without bail.

Jadyn Ortiz, 19, of Fall River, Xzavien Figueroa-Valcarel, 19, of Fall River and Giovanni Nunes, 18, of Fall River are all already charged with Accessory to Murder-After the Fact and were allegedly in the vehicle, an Acura, with Chiclana that approached Mills-Good.  They are each being held on $250,000 cash bail.

Chiclana is accused of stepping out of the vehicle and shooting Mills-Good three times.

According to ABC6 , Prosecutors say that when Ortiz was arrested at his apartment, police found cash and a 45-caliber handgun that was thrown out the window. The firearm is being tested to see if it matches the gun used in the fatal shooting.

“The front seat passenger from that Acura fired four shots from a 40-caliber firearm from the intersection at Mr. Mills-Good. One of the backseat passengers ran directly at Mr. Mills-Good and at point blank range fired five shots from a 45-caliber firearm.” 

Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s office, Fall River Police, and Homicide Unit prosecutors are still actively investigating the homicide.  The investigation is being coordinated by Assistant District Attorney Jason Mohan, who handled Friday’s arraignment.

Fall River Police responded to the area of Rock and Franklin Streets around 11:41 a.m. on Thursday March 14th for reports of shots fired.  When they arrived, they located a male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.  The victim, identified as Mills-Good, 18, was rushed to Saint Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Chiclana’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 22nd for a probable cause hearing.
