Inside the residence, the victim, identified as 22-year-old Robert Favreau, was discovered suffering from gunshot wounds.
It was determined that he had passed away at the site. According to the investigators, Moreno lived in the residence where the shooting took place, and Favreau had been residing there for a number of months before to the incident. “Tonight, the victim and Mr. Moreno allegedly got into a verbal altercation that escalated to the point where the defendant ultimately shot the victim,” Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Wednesday night.
