Sabrina DaSilva was 19 when she was found fatally shot in the parking lot of the Verdean Gardens apartment building on Bedford Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The shooting occurred on July 3, 2016; first responders took her to St. Luke’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. At the time she was a student at Bristol Community College and the mother of a young daughter.

Investigators quickly worked to identify a suspect and the community planned a vigil. About a month after the killing, 45-year-old Walter DaSilva was arrested in Bridgeport, Connecticut, by U.S. Marshals and charged with Sabrina’s murder along with illegal firearm offenses. Authorities said he had a prior conviction for attempting to murder Sabrina’s mother and had been deported twice. Reports say he was upset that Sabrina did not visit him on Father’s Day and disapproved of her dating an older man; he reportedly confessed after his arrest.

If anyone knew Sabrina, her routines, or has information about the night she was killed, please come forward.
