Two men have been indicted in connection with the fatal shooting of a teen in Fitchburg, Massachusets, over 30 years ago.
Robert D’Lucca, 49, and Lawrence Calafell, 51, were indicted for murder on Friday by a Worcester County Grand Jury in connection with the shooting death of 15-year-old Deondray Atwood back in 1993, according to the Worcester District Attorney’s Office. Both men were also indicted on charges of armed assault with intent to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license and possession of ammunition without an FID card.
On Nov. 25, 1993, prosecutors said D’Lucca and Calafell shot into a car parked on Daniels Street in Fitchburg with three people inside, including Atwood and two other teens. Atwood was shot multiple times, and later died. Another passenger sustained multiple gunshot wounds but survived her injuries. The driver of the car was not hurt.
D’Lucca was charged with the crime in 1993 but wasn’t tried at the time after he was arrested in New York on separate murder charges. He has been serving time at Sing Sing Correctional Facility ever since, but he will be brought back to Massachusetts to face charges in the Fitchburg murder case at a later date.
Following his indictment Friday, Calafell was arrested without incident in Fitchburg by Massachusetts State Police. He is expected to be arraigned Monday in Worcester Superior Court.

A prisoner who escaped the custody of sheriff’s deputies while being transported in a van along Interstate 95 in Waltham, Massachusetts, last month is set to appear in court Monday.
Victor De Moura-Pereira, 20, is scheduled to appear in federal court at 10:45 a.m.
Pereira escaped custody in February while being transported in a Plymouth County Sheriff’s Department van. He was recaptured 45 minutes later at the MSPCA in Waltham following a manhunt. He had been arrested a day earlier in Framingham on an outstanding warrant.
When he escaped, the van Pereira was in was traveling south on I-95 when it became stuck in traffic as a result of emergency road repairs necessitated by a large pothole that had opened up on a bridge. The sheriff’s department said he found a flaw in the design of the vehicle which allowed him to squeeze through the plexiglass and gain access to the emergency exit.

A 4-year-old girl was killed after being hit by a vehicle just steps away from Boston Children’s Museum over the weekend.
The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Congress and Sleeper streets, which is in the Seaport District section of Southie, Boston police said.
The girl’s identity is being withheld at this time, but police said she was with family members, when for some reason, she ended up in the road. Moments later, she was hit by a vehicle.
The 4-year-old was immediately rushed to the hospital, where she died.
The driver remained on scene until officers arrived, according to police.
“It’s so sad. Even us, we were there just an hour and a half before then. Sad, awful,” said Kim Harris. “I’m sure they were doing the same thing that we were doing — going to museum for a day to have a good day. Then, they went home, and tragedy struck.”
No charges have been filed so far and no arrests were made.
