Officers found Souza unconscious with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital and pronounced dead.

The death was immediately classified as a homicide. The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office, New Bedford Police and State Police detectives opened an extensive investigation, but no suspects were identified in the immediate aftermath. Friends and family described Souza as a big brother figure and said they could not imagine who would want to harm him.

Years later the case remains unsolved and no arrests have been reported. Anyone with information about the shooting at 25 Austin Street on July 19, 2013 is asked to come forward.
