On Monday afternoon, March 20, 2023, 34-year-old Justin Breitung was fatally shot near Belmont Avenue in Springfield, Massachusetts. First responders took him to Baystate Medical Center, where he died of his injuries. Breitung, born in Watertown, was a husband and father of two daughters who worked as a landscaper for New England Landscaping and enjoyed camping, hiking, martial arts, spirituality, and Native American culture.

Springfield police arrested two people in the investigation. On March 24, 2023, 32-year-old Christina Guzman and a male suspect, Rafael Calo, were taken into custody. Guzman was charged with murder and intimidation of a witness. Calo was charged with murder, carrying a large-capacity firearm on a public way, firearm violations with two prior violent crimes, and possession of a high-capacity magazine; authorities reported Calo had a large-capacity pistol when arrested.

Reports indicate a possible motive linked to a dispute involving the children of Breitung and the suspects, including allegations that Breitung’s daughter had been bullied by the suspects’ child at school. Does anyone have information about Justin or the events around March 20, 2023 that could help?
