A Springfield man is charged with first-degree murder for a shooting death last March in Chicopee. The Hampden District Attorney's office says 39-year-old Almando Diaz was arrested Monday in connection with the death of 32-year-old Luis Ramos of Springfield.
Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni stated, “Over eight months, detectives from the Massachusetts State Police in my office and Chicopee Police relentlessly sought evidence to solve and prove this murder. I express my thanks for their extraordinary work that led to this arrest. We will now work within the court system to secure justice for the victim and his loved ones.”
Diaz was arraigned yesterday in Chicopee District Court and is currently being held without the right to bail. His next scheduled court date is on December 6, 2021.
