Fall River Fatal Shooting Suspect Arraigned on Murder Charges

FALL RIVER (WBSM) — A Connecticut man charged in January with murder in connection to the shooting death of Juan Manuel Batista Castro in Fall River will be arraigned in Fall River District Court.

Angel Fabian Robles-Nicasio, 22, waived rendition last week in Connecticut and has been transported back to Fall River. He will be arraigned on charges of murder, carrying an illegal firearm and conspiracy to traffic cocaine.

Robles-Nicasio was initially arrested along with 11 other individuals in late January in Connecticut as a result of a long-term investigation by Willimantic Police into a pattern of racketeering and gang activity.

He was charged with corrupt organization and racketeering and was held on $75,000 bail.
