On October 31, 2010 at approximately 10:20 PM Worcester Police responded to 28 Preston Street for a report of a male who was shot. Upon the officers’ arrival they observed a 20 year old victim lying on the kitchen floor, suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest. The victim was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The victim was identified as Edwis Peña of the Preston Street address; he is the city’s 5th homicide of the year.
Here’s his Facebook. I can shrug these things off till there’s a face and a life behind the name–then it breaks my heart.

Love is LOVE.
This is more tragic than we can imagine. My condolences to the family. May God be with everyone suffering this tragedy. May his soul rest in Jesus Christ.
