Jeffrey Souza Freitas was 20 when he was found dead in a vehicle in Springfield, Massachusetts, on the night of March 26, 2016. He was discovered around 11:15 p.m. in the city’s North End and investigators determined he had been shot in the head. Authorities said the shooting was connected to a drug-related incident rather than a random act of violence.

Prosecutors described a plan by three individuals to buy marijuana from Freitas that turned fatal. One of the people charged was 17-year-old Matthew Hastings, arraigned on murder and initially held without bail. Charles Sierra was also arrested and charged for his role in the killing. Court filings alleged a joint venture led to the shooting and left Freitas in his car.

Family remembered Freitas as a polite, kind-hearted son, brother, and proud godfather. Does anyone have information about the third person mentioned as involved in the transaction or about that night in the North End?
