Dakota Gosselin, 21, was shot and killed on November 20, 2016, on Gordon Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. Police who responded to reports of gunshots initially found blood at the scene but no victim. Later that day firefighters in nearby Lincoln answering a brush fire discovered Gosselin’s body among charred remains in a vacant lot.

Investigators say Gosselin’s body was transported from Providence to Lincoln, dismembered, and set on fire. A 19-year-old from Central Falls, David Deleon, was arrested and accused of shooting and killing Gosselin; he was indicted and pleaded not guilty, and a judge ordered him held without bail. A 39-year-old woman, Erica Gonzalez of Central Falls, was also arrested and accused of hiding Deleon in a secret compartment inside her apartment bathroom.

Does anyone have information about Gosselin’s last known movements on November 20, 2016, or about activity on Gordon Avenue that day?
