On the morning of May 20, 2023, a 911 call brought police to a home on West Church Street in Mansfield, Massachusetts, where 23-year-old Samuel P. Waters was found dead of gunshot wounds. Waters, a Franklin native and Franklin High School graduate who attended Nichols College, was remembered by family and friends as generous, fun-loving and passionate about motorcycles, gaming, working out and the outdoors.

Police identified and detained 22-year-old William O’Brien of Manchester-by-the-Sea; officers reportedly found him in the street wearing body armor and he was taken into custody after briefly fleeing. Investigators reported finding multiple firearms, large amounts of cash and marijuana in the residence; prosecutors later said witnesses identified O’Brien as the shooter. O’Brien was initially held on firearms charges that were upgraded to murder, and he was held without bail following arraignment.

Does anyone have additional information about Samuel’s routines or who he spent time with in Mansfield or Franklin?
