A 16-year-old boy was shot dead in a Cranston apartment complex parking lot in the early hours of August 11, 2025. Eduardo Loran Colon of Providence was struck by a gunshot to the chest and was found after 9 a.m.; investigators estimate the shooting occurred about 2:53 a.m. Surveillance video shows Colon arriving at the Pocasset Village Apartments in a stolen vehicle with two other masked individuals in dark clothing. The footage reportedly captured 19-year-old D’Maury Monteiro drawing a handgun and firing multiple close-range shots as Colon tried to flee.

Police recovered .40-caliber shell casings at the scene and seized two vehicles. Monteiro was arrested the next day in Dorchester, Massachusetts, charged with first-degree murder and two weapons counts, waived extradition, and was ordered held without bail after arraignment. Authorities continue to investigate and are seeking the third person seen with Colon; no motive has been released beyond reports the group arrived in a stolen car and appeared to be attempting to steal another vehicle.

If anyone has information about Colon, the third person present, or the events that night, please share what is known.
