On the evening of February 5, 2020, 18-year-old Luis DeJesus was shot in Lowell, Massachusetts. Police responded to reports of shots fired around 8:30 p.m. near L and Coburn streets and found DeJesus with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Lowell General Hospital and pronounced dead. Investigators said the shooting itself likely occurred near Jewett and West 4th streets, where a firearm was recovered, and described the incident as not random.

A man in his 20s was also treated at a local hospital that night for non-fatal gunshot wounds. Authorities believed the two men knew each other and that the shootings were connected. The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Lowell Police, and State Police identified 25-year-old Robert Rosa of Nashua, New Hampshire, as a suspect. Rosa was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm, possession of ammunition, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
