SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — Police have identified the second homicide victim of 2013 as 42-year-old Jimmie Acevedo of Springfield.
Police say they got the call just before 6:00 a.m. for a call of shots fired and an activation from “ShotSpotter” on Monmouth Street, which is located in Springfield’s Bay neighborhood.
When officers arrived, they found Acevedo suffering from gun shot wounds.
Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney says he was rushed to Baystate Medical Center where he died a short time later.
Two suspects, Delaney adds, were seen fleeing the scene on foot and investigators are still searching for those people.

England warns America on gun control
FUNNY… MURDER DON’T TAKE SNOW DAYS, BUT THE SCHOOL DEPT, DOES!!
Innocent people get out the way and let these idiots knock each other off
So sad.
The sad thing is that this will never end.
Penalties are not stiff enough. We don’t need more gun control we need 20 year minimum sentences for even carrying a gun w/o a licence . The death penalty for anyone who kills someone with an illegal gun. And 50 years for any home invasion or armed robbery. Even monkeys will think twice about carrying guns.
What about mandatory range hours for gun owners so when there ever put in a situation there not shooting innocent people not everyone should have a gun
What about leaving a weapon where it’s easily accessible for someone that does a home invasions can get to So Jail Time For Being Careless
Wow…now everyone thinks we need gun control? SMH
Gee I bet it was gang related/ drugs. That area is a haven for drugs and gangs
Not everyone is a doomsday prepper YEE-HAW type
HELLO this was SOMEONE child loved one family member. Have a little respect. Wow some people are just RUDE
We need more strict gun laws along with serious consequences for violating them. Not just a slap on the wrist. We need more police officers. And the deceased may have been someone’s family member but where was that family when he was growing up? The reason 98% of all gang members join gangs is because they DON’T have a family that gives a damn about them to start with. The gang, gives them a sense of family, commeradery. The gang activity gives them a means of survival on the streets because survival at home wasn’t much of an option either. One of the best reads ever is a book written by a sociology major who went under cover in a gang for 2 years. “Gang Leader for a Day”. I’m not supporting gang behavior. But in order to change a behavior in society we have to understand it. Any young life lost is a tragedy. And most Americans use sarcasm to process it because it doesn’t make sense.
death penalty for killing with just an illegal gun ? lmao !!!! btw i knew a guy that killed his girl friend with his legal shot gun !!! so i am tired of hearing law abiding gun owners **** !!!!! legal gun owners have killed with their guns before and will again !!! get off the fux news kick and join the intelligent talks , instead of regurgitating what you hear from the drug addict rush and fux news , not to mention the greedy house republicans !!!!
How do YOU know for a fact the victim was in a gang or anything about the victim. You made lots of assumptions and made no sense at all. Shows what a judgemental person you are.

Bottom line is criminals don’t care about the time they get for a crime that’s why their criminals
Agree @ paratooper82 ! They don’t care they do the time and come out to do it all over again…. And no matter how many police officers we have the crime will never end.
How sad it is that another life is lost to the streets of Springfield,we dont need new vun law and we definitely dont need ignorant comments from people that dont know how it feels to loose a love one,whether its gangs,drugs or mistaken identity,no one deserves to get killed,this was someone’s son,father or friend. People the only one that can make a difference in these streets is JESUS,No cops no army can make the difference in these streets,only the word and love of God can change these streets, RWC located at 30 Bowdion St.Spfld,Ma is making the difference,Youths,marriages,lifes are being changed here,there is a powerful man of God making a difference to Spfld,your life will never be the same once you enter those doors. If God is with you who can be against you,God bless all and to the family of the man that his life was cut short,may God have mercy on judgement day.
Amen
