The trial is set to begin Monday for a 39-year-old Fall River man who was held without bail after being charged with murder and other crimes related to the October 18th, 2021, shooting death of 54-year-old convenience store owner Lal Kishor Mahaseth.
Nelson F. Coelho was charged after being arrested in connection to a separate Fall River armed robbery at 7 Days Food Mart.
