Man arraigned on murder charge for fatal stabbing in Cambridge
Antwan Gonsalves, 33, of Cambridge was arraigned on the charge of murder in Cambridge District Court on Friday in connection with a fatal stabbing that left a 33-year-old Roxbury man dead.
Bail was set at $7.5 million cash, with a $750,000 surety, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office.
On September 12, Cambridge Police and emergency personnel responded to the intersection of Pleasant Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Central Square for a reported stabbing. Tywann Jones was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and later died from his injuries.
In a statement, District Attorney Marian Ryan said the case illustrated the importance of the public’s help to law enforcement.
“In part, as a result of the public’s cooperation with law enforcement the defendant is now in custody,’’ Ryan said. “Additionally, effective collaboration between the Massachusetts State Police assigned to our office and the Cambridge Police Department led to today’s arraignment. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Tywann Jones as we move forward in our prosecution of Antwan Gonsalves.’’
The next scheduled hearing for the case is November 4.
Attorney information for Gonsalves was not immediately available.
