Suspects held on $250K bail in connection with shooting death of Fall River teen

A judge ordered two Fall River teenagers each held on $250,000 cash bail in connection to the fatal shooting of a high school student, the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office confirmed.

Xzavien Figueroa-Valcarel, 19, and Giovanni Nunes, 18, face charges of accessory to murder after the fact in connection to the shooting death of 18-year-old Colus Jamal Mills-Good, also of Fall River, prosecutors said in a statement Sunday. 

The two teenagers pleaded not guilty at their arraignments Monday in Fall River District Court, The Boston Globe reported.

Fall River police responded to the scene at Rock and Franklin streets Thursday around 11:40 a.m. for reports of shots fired, officials previously noted in a statement.

They found Mills-Good suffering from gunshot wounds at the scene and transported him to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries, according to officials.

Bristol Assistant District Attorney Jason Mohan described the incident during Figueroa-Valcarel’s arraignment, alleging that Mills-Good was walking to Resiliency Preparatory Academy, where he was a student, when a group of men in a black Accura sedan drove up near him a few blocks from the school and started shooting at him, The Herald News reported.

“As Mr. Mills-Good approached the intersection, three young men exited that Accura, ran at Mr. Mills-Good,” Mohan told the court, according to The Herald News. “The front seat passenger shot four shots from a 40-caliber from the intersection at Mr. Mills-Good, as one of the back seat passengers ran directly at Mr. Mills-Good, and at point blank range fired five shots with a 45-caliber firearm.”

An investigation into Mills-Good’s death remains ongoing.
