On the morning of Sunday, November 3, 2019, Gabriel Irizarry, 31, of Holyoke was driving on Interstate 91 North in Springfield when occupants of another vehicle opened fire on his car, striking him. An on-duty Massachusetts State Police trooper on patrol witnessed the shooting. Investigators determined the attack was a case of mistaken identity; the assailants had misidentified Irizarry’s vehicle as belonging to someone they were targeting.

The Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit launched an investigation that led to the identification and arrest of four individuals in connection with the murder. Gabriel Irizarry’s death remains a grim example of how misdirected violence can devastate an innocent life.

Does anyone have information about Gabriel’s movements that morning or about the vehicles involved?
