On the evening of June 11, 2015, 19-year-old Marcelo Jean Francois was fatally shot in Harrington Park, New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was a Black/African American man and a father of two young children; friends and family remembered him as kind and caring. The community held memorials and a charity basketball game to support his children.

Police identified and arrested an 18-year-old named Syrelle Grace in connection with the shooting. Grace was arraigned in New Bedford District Court on June 15, 2015, on a murder charge and was ordered held without bail. Later court proceedings resulted in guilty pleas to manslaughter and armed robbery with a gun related to the killing, and a sentence of 13 to 18 years in prison with three years probation to follow.

Does anyone have memories of Marcelo, details about that night in Harrington Park, or information that could shed more light on what happened?
