On the evening of July 14, 2021, a verbal dispute between roommates inside a two-family home on Ware Street in Somerville, Massachusetts, ended with Robert Favreau shot and killed. Favreau was 22 and had been living in the residence for several months with his roommate.

Police were called about 5:45 p.m. after a woman who witnessed the shooting hid in a closet and phoned 911. Officers found 26-year-old Edson Moreno outside the building holding a handgun; he complied with orders to drop the weapon and was taken into custody. First responders located Favreau inside the home with an apparent gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The preliminary investigation says a verbal argument between Favreau and Moreno preceded the shooting. Moreno was arrested and faced multiple charges including armed assault to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, and firearm possession, and was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.

If anyone knew Favreau, the household, or witnessed the incident, please share information that could help piece together what happened.
