Rene Andino, 33, was shot and killed late on December 23, 2018, in Springfield, Massachusetts. A Springfield Central High School graduate and founder of the Flash Flood Auto Club of Springfield, Andino was a father who had been walking from his car toward his girlfriend’s house near Oswego and Richelieu Streets at about 11:30 p.m. when ShotSpotter detected gunfire. Officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Baystate Medical Center and later pronounced dead.

The Hampden District Attorney’s Office and the Springfield Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation and described the death as a homicide. In the days after the shooting officials said the inquiry was active and ongoing, and no public announcements about suspects, persons of interest, or arrests have been released. The family and community remain without answers.
