Sheldon Thorpe, a 22-year-old from Fall River, appears in court today, charged with murder in the wake of a double homicide that shocked Worcester, Massachusetts, last November. The incident involved the fatal shootings of a woman in her 50s and a man in his 20s at a Brookside Avenue home, where investigators found no signs of forced entry and large bags left behind, suggesting a robbery gone wrong.
Thorpe, along with two accomplices, faces multiple charges including two counts of murder and armed assault with intent to rob. According to court documents, the suspects, armed with an assault rifle, traveled from Stoughton in a vehicle with New Jersey plates before entering the victims’ apartment. As the investigation unfolds, the identities of the victims remain undisclosed, though authorities confirm they are related, raising further questions about the circumstances surrounding the crime.
