Austin Rodrigues, a 26-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed in Rutland, Vermont, in the early morning hours of April 22, 2025. Police were called to a multi-unit home at 43 Summer Street around 2:45 a.m. and found Rodrigues inside; he had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was ruled a homicide.

Court records say witnesses described an argument between Rodrigues and another man that escalated after Rodrigues allegedly swung at the other man. Witnesses reported the other man, known only as Kenny, pulled out a gun, opened fire, and fled. Kenny had reportedly been staying at the residence for about three weeks and left some clothes behind in his haste to leave.

Investigators sent a factory-sealed plastic bag containing a new package of boxer briefs left at the scene to the Vermont Crime Lab; fingerprints recovered from the packaging helped identify a suspect. Authorities later located 25-year-old Terrence Biggs Jr. of Warren, Michigan. He was extradited to Vermont and charged with second-degree murder; at arraignment he pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail. Was anyone in Rutland familiar with a man known as Kenny or who stayed at 43 Summer Street in April 2025?
