On the afternoon of Tuesday, November 3, 2020, 30-year-old Jean Carlos JC Lopez was shot outside his home on Myrtle Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. Neighbors reported a drive-by shooting. First responders took Lopez to Morton Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The case became an active priority for local and state police. About six weeks later, on December 16, 2020, authorities arrested 26-year-old Kali Hollingsworth at his mother’s home on School Street and charged him with Lopez’s murder. Lopez had been released from prison in March 2020 after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court overturned his 2013 first-degree murder conviction in the 2010 stabbing death of 17-year-old Tigan Hollingsworth, finding prosecutors had not proven he was present at that scene.

Police said it was too soon to know whether Lopez’s killing was connected to the 2010 homicide. Did anyone in Taunton see or hear anything on Myrtle Street that afternoon?
