Monson Man Sentenced To Life In Prison For Chicopee Murder

A Western Massachusetts man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder.

The Hampden District Attorney's Office says 48-year-old William Allsop of Monson was convicted by a jury on Tuesday.

Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni stated, “The excellent investigation by both the Chicopee Police Department and Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to my office led to a successful prosecution, directed by Assistant District Attorney Matthew Green and appellate ADA David Sheppard-Brick. I would like to thank and commend ADA Green and ADA Brick for their dedication and skillful work in securing this guilty verdict, with which comes a measure of justice for Mr. Gaudette’s loved ones.”

Allsop was charged with the fatal shooting of Springfield man Gary Gaudette Jr. on Montgomery Street in Chicopee in 2019.
