On Memorial Day, May 29, 2023, 45-year-old Jessenia I. Jessie Simmons of New Bedford was found dead inside a bay at the Globe Car Wash on Broadway in Fall River. First responders arrived after a 911 call about a possible shooting and discovered Simmons deceased at about 12:36 p.m.

Investigators identified 33-year-old Angelo Leo of Fall River as the suspect. Leo and Simmons had a prior romantic relationship; friends said Simmons had recently renewed a restraining order against him and had been receiving threatening text messages. Surveillance video is reported to show an attack in which Leo stabbed and then shot Simmons as she tried to flee. Leo left in a vehicle but turned himself in about half an hour later in Tiverton, Rhode Island.

Leo was charged with murder, carrying an illegal firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon, malicious damage to a motor vehicle, and two counts of violating an abuse prevention order, and he pleaded not guilty at arraignment. Does anyone have information about Simmons, her movements that day, or the car wash on Broadway?
