Officers responding to a report of medial emergency at a home on Moraine Street just before 5 p.m. on January 25 found 51-year-old Michael Ricci suffering from a stab wound to his chest and shoulder, the district attorney’s office said.

The 23-year veteran firefighter was rushed to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
