Jose Fuentes, 27, was killed in a February 21, 2009 shooting in Haverhill, Massachusetts. Born in Puerto Rico and working as a construction laborer, he was a father of two, Cassandra and Jose. The case drew investigators to New York after attention focused on a suspect, William Collazo, who surrendered there weeks after the killing and denied being in Haverhill on the day of the shooting.

At trial the jury heard a motive tied to a recent breakup: Collazo’s former girlfriend began dating Fuentes on February 13, 2009. Prosecution evidence included witness testimony that Collazo asked about Fuentes’s car, threatened him, and later called to say he had just merked the victim. The jury convicted Collazo of murder in the first degree on a deliberate premeditation theory and of carrying a firearm without a license; those convictions were later affirmed by the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts.

Does anyone have information about Jose Fuentes, his movements in Haverhill that week, or contacts who might help fill gaps in the timeline?
