John Abreu Junior DePina, 26, was killed in Brockton, Massachusetts, after being shot on West Park Street on November 2, 2022. Police found DePina suffering from gunshot wounds; he received medical attention but died of his injuries. He was described as Black / African American.

Authorities identified 24-year-old David Lynch as the person who shot DePina. Reports say the shooting followed a dispute after DePina approached a vehicle occupied by Lynch; Lynch then fled the scene. Lynch was later linked to Abington, Canton, and Weymouth and was added to the Massachusetts State Police Most Wanted list in March 2023 as armed and dangerous, with five outstanding warrants for firearms and narcotics charges.

The manhunt ended on June 15, 2023, after a multi-town pursuit. Troopers approached Lynch at a Holiday Inn parking lot in Middleborough; he rammed two police cruisers and fled, crashing in Raynham. Lynch and a male passenger were taken into custody and a firearm was recovered from Lynch’s vehicle.

Did anyone in the Brockton area see or hear anything on West Park Street the night of November 2, 2022?
