On January 5, 2014, 26-year-old David Rodriguez was fatally shot just before 1 a.m. outside the Ship’s Cove Apartments on Canal Street in Fall River. He was taken to St. Anne’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The killing was the city’s first homicide in 15 months.

Investigators identified and arrested 34-year-old William Tate of Rhode Island in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors said the motive grew out of a personal dispute: Rodriguez was reportedly upset that Tate was attempting to pursue a relationship with his younger sister and feared Tate was trying to rekindle a past relationship with Rodriguez’s girlfriend. Tate was charged with murder and illegal firearms and ammunition possession.

At trial Tate argued he acted in self-defense, saying he believed Rodriguez was armed. The jury convicted him of second-degree murder and illegal firearms counts in April 2016, and in May 2016 a judge imposed consecutive prison terms that make him ineligible for parole for at least 19 years.

Does anyone have additional information about Rodriguez’s life or the circumstances outside Ship’s Cove Apartments that night?
