WORCESTER - The Worcester County District Attorney has identified a suspect wanted in connection with a fatal shooting on the campus of Worcester State University.
Authorities are looking for 18-year-old Kevin Rodriguez, who last lived in Lawrence. He's wanted on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and armed assault with intent to murder. The DA said he's considered armed and dangerous and anyone who sees him should immediately call 911.
The shooting happened early Saturday around 2:30 a.m. when police said a fight broke out near a parking garage on campus. Students were ordered to shelter in place after the shooting.
A 19-year-old man was killed and a 21-year-old man was wounded in the shooting. The victims' identities haven't been released. District Attorney Joe Early said it doesn't appear to be a random shooting.
