Brendan Fernandes, 33, of Brockton, and Destiny A. Fontes Silie, 25, of Warwick, Rhode Island were pulled over while driving a blue sedan in Chesterfield, Virginia around noontime after a warrant was issued for their arrest, according to Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz.
Around 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday, Brockton police received multiple 911 calls reporting a shooting on East Street. Upon their arrival, officers found 24-year-old Brima Koroma of Boston suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest.
