One person is in arrest, while another is being wanted following a homicide in Holyoke.
According to Payton North, spokesperson for the Hampden District Attorney’s Office, Holyoke Police responded to the area of 139 Sargeant Street for a report of shots fired and a victim approximately 5:40 p.m. on April 18. When they arrived, they discovered 31-year-old Robert Abreu of Holyoke with a gunshot wound. He was brought to Baystate Medical Center and pronounced dead.
An investigation revealed that the shooting occurred following a fight involving numerous people. Someone allegedly approached Abreu and assaulted him as he was seated in his vehicle, firing a revolver and striking him with a bullet. Delani Rodriguez, 21, and Daniel Medina, 22, both of Holyoke, reportedly fled the scene after the incident as investigators used search warrants to acquire a pistol and further evidence.
Rodriguez was arrested for murder in Springfield on April 22. She was arraigned on April 23 and is being held without bail pending a pretrial hearing on May 22. Authorities are still looking for Medina, who is also wanted for murder. “Investigators have identified Medina as the individual who discharged the firearm during the altercation,” North said.
Anyone with information on Medina’s whereabouts or the case is urged to contact State Police investigators assigned to the District Attorney’s office at 413-505-5993.
