The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office confirmed on Saturday that Fernandes had been found with the self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was transported to a Boston hospital for treatment. The incident occurred on Nason Street, just a few hundred feet from where Beatty was shot while sitting inside a car early on Friday morning.
Police responded to a call about a person shot at 17 Nason St. around 12:22 a.m. Upon arrival, they discovered Beatty, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Following an investigation by Brockton police and Massachusetts State Police, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Fernandes on charges of murder. The DA’s office stated that the victim and Fernandes were previously acquainted.
This marks the second fatal shooting in Brockton within a week. Marvin Hill, 35, was shot near 28 Lexington St. on Tuesday evening and passed away in a Boston hospital the next day. No arrests have been made in that incident.
The community is shocked by the recent violence and the loss of two young lives. Authorities are working diligently to investigate these crimes and bring justice to the victims and their families.
