In the early morning hours of June 9, 2004, a neighbor found 26-year-old Rafael Rosado III mortally wounded in front of his home on Guinea Road in Biddeford, Maine. He had been shot to death. Born in Caguas, Puerto Rico, Rosado had moved to Biddeford from Chelsea, Massachusetts about three years earlier and worked in the construction trade.

His family — including his mother, stepfather, and siblings — described him as a loving son and brother. The Maine State Police treated the incident as a homicide and the Major Crimes Unit led the investigation, publicly asking for information. Despite investigators pursuing leads over the years, no suspects have been publicly named and no arrests have been announced, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone lived in that neighborhood in June 2004 or has information about Rafael’s death, please come forward to the Major Crimes Unit.
