On October 19, 2017, 27-year-old David Pichardo was shot while doing laundry at the LaundroMax on Boston Road in Springfield, Massachusetts. Officers found him at the rear of the business with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Baystate Medical Center and later died of his injuries. The shooting shocked the community and left his family mourning.

Reports link David’s death to a broader pattern of violence that also claimed his brother, 28-year-old Yonaides Pichardo, who was found shot in his car on Sycamore Street on October 11, 2016. Investigators have treated the cases as connected as they pursued leads in the city and beyond.

If anyone remembers seeing David at the LaundroMax that evening or has information about either shooting, please come forward with what you know.
