On March 5, 2024, Zella Nunez, an 11-year-old sixth-grade student, and her 27-year-old mother, Chasity Nunez, were sitting in a parked vehicle on Englewood Avenue in Worcester, Massachusetts, when someone opened fire. First responders found both mother and daughter inside the car with gunshot wounds; both were transported to a local hospital but died of their injuries. Zella is described as a bright, well-respected student with many friends.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed two men approach the vehicle and open fire, then flee in a white sedan. A witness provided the getaway car’s license plate, which led investigators to Hartford, Connecticut. Two suspects were identified: 28-year-old Karel Mangual and 27-year-old Dejan Belnavis. Mangual was arrested March 7 and initially charged with armed assault with intent to murder and carrying an unlicensed firearm; those charges were later upgraded to two counts of murder. Belnavis was located in San Diego on March 11 after a traffic stop and was extradited to Massachusetts. A Worcester County grand jury indicted both men on two counts of murder each; both are being held without bail pending court proceedings.

Does anyone have information about the area around Englewood Avenue on March 5 that could help investigators?
