Jose Delacruz, 32, was fatally shot in the early hours of March 27, 2022, outside a Bank of America ATM on Essex Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The shooting occurred during an apparent armed robbery; Delacruz sustained wounds that proved fatal at the scene.

The Lawrence Police Department and the Essex County District Attorney’s Office investigated the case and identified three men alleged to have been involved. In May 2023 a grand jury returned an indictment charging 30-year-old Lee Harvey of Roslindale with murder, armed robbery while masked, carrying a firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm. A second man, 29-year-old Dennis Ortiz of Boston, was indicted on armed robbery while masked, carrying a firearm without a license as a fourth offense, and illegal possession of a loaded firearm; Ortiz had been taken into custody on unrelated charges in June 2022. A third defendant, 29-year-old Carmelo Martinez of East Boston, was indicted on armed robbery while masked.

The Essex County District Attorney’s Office is prosecuting the case. Did anyone witness activity near the Essex Street ATM that night or have information about the robbery?
