Two held on bail, more details released, concerning fatal shooting of Fall River’s Colus Jamal Mills-Good
Two individuals arrested in connection to the ongoing investigation into the Thursday morning fatal shooting of 18-year-old Colus Jamal Mills-Good in Fall River faced a judge Monday morning.
According to court records, Xzavien Figueroa-Valcarel, 19, of Fall River and Giovanni Nunes, 18, of Fall River have both been charged with Accessory to Murder-After the Fact and pled not guilty in Fall River District Court.
Nunes was held on $2,500,000 surety bond until a hearing on April 19th. If released, conditions are GPS monitoring, no contact with witnesses, and home confinement.
Figueroa-Valcarel was also held on $2,500,000 surety bond until a hearing on April 22nd.
Fall River Police responded to the area of Rock and Franklin Streets just before 11:45 a.m. for reports of shots fired. When they arrived, they located a male victim suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The victim, identified as Mills-Good, was rushed to Saint Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, where he was later pronounced deceased.
According to ABC6 , Figueroa-Valcarel and Nunes were allegedly inside the suspect vehicle, an Acura, when the shooting took place. Prosecutors also revealed that there were two shooters.
“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.”
Figueroa-Valcarel’s attorney stated the case against his client is weak as he said not to shoot Mills-Good.
Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the district attorney’s office, Fall River Police, and Homicide Unit prosecutors are actively investigating the homicide. The investigation is being coordinated by Assistant District Attorney Jason Mohan.

This is a tragedy all the way along, and three young lives are changed forever. Fall River’s racist justice, housing, and school system allows children at risk to slip through the cracks until a tragedy happens and there’s no cash bail.
If the charges were not POC, there would be cash bail. We must all hope that cash bail is eliminated in Massachusetts to provide the underprivileged the same advantages that whites have.
Fed Up

The problem in a nutshell. No responsibility. The ONLY people responsible for this tragedy are the ones in custody and NOT the state if anyone else their parents who failed to raise responsible caring and compassionate human beings. Stop looking for this state to solve your problems, they’re inept

Meanwhile Nick Hoar is out on bail after his conviction and with another case of murdering a POC, which was allegedly covered up by other FRPD officers who are still working.
That’s equality and justice Fall River style.
