SPRINGFIELD – A Massachusetts man, wanted for a murder charge in his home state from last month, was arrested in North Springfield by federal, state and local law enforcement officials from two states on Thursday.

The U.S. Marshals Service in Vermont and Massachusetts said Daniel Medina, 22, who has a documented history of firearm-related offenses, was apprehended about 3 p.m.

The arrest came less than three weeks after the fatal shooting of Robert Abreu, 31, outside his residence on Sargeant Street in Holyoke, Mass., officials said.

Medina was believed to be armed and dangerous so Massachusetts authorities sought cooperation from local manpower from Vermont, including the U.S. Marshals Service in Burlington, Vermont State Police and Weathersfield Police for the arrest.

Groups of law enforcement officers spread out and visited a couple of neighborhoods, including a home on Union Street before finding Medina at a residence on Central Street in North Springfield in mid-afternoon, officials said.

The house was surrounded and the occupants were ordered to come outside, officials said. More than a half dozen people exited the home, but Medina remained inside. A delegation of heavily armed deputy U.S. Marshals went into the residence and took Medina into custody. He was unarmed.

Authorities lodged Medina at the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield on Thursday evening. He is due to appear for arraignment in Vermont Superior Court on Friday on a charge of being a fugitive from justice i Massachusetts.

The Hampden County Mass. District Attorney’s Office filed murder charges against Delani Rodriguez, 21, of Holyoke, Mass., who was caught a few days later, and Medina, the suspected trigger man, officials said.

Holyoke Police said officers responded about 5:40 p.m. Saturday April 18 to a report of shots fired with a victim injured in the area of 139 Sargeant St. Officers located Abreu suffering from a gunshot wound.

Abreu was transported to Baystate Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni said.

The investigation determined the shooting followed a physical altercation involving multiple individuals, he said. Investigators maintain Abreu was approached and assaulted while seated in his vehicle and that a firearm was discharged, striking him, officials said.

Following the shooting, Rodriguez and Medina fled the area. Investigators later recovered a firearm and additional evidence during the execution of search warrants.

Rodriguez was arrested in Springfield, Mass without incident on the murder charge four days after the shooting, the U.S. Marshals Service said. Members of the Hampden County Narcotics Task Force and the Hampden County SAFE Unit made the arrest.

She was arraigned the following day, April 23, in Holyoke District Court and is being held without bail pending a pretrial conference hearing May 22.

“Today’s arrest sends a clear message: no matter where a fugitive runs, the United States Marshals Service along with our outstanding law enforcement partners will not stop until they are found,” U.S. Marshal Dennis Matulewicz for Massachusetts said.

Matulewicz praised the work of Vermont authorities for helping pinpoint the local home where Medina might be hiding.

“Through coordinated investigative work and relentless pursuit by multiple agencies, this allegedly dangerous individual who is wanted for murder was safely apprehended in Vermont and will now face justice,” he said.

“We are especially thankful for the coordination and cooperation from our law enforcement partners in Vermont,” Matulewicz said.

While at the Union Street residence, local police arrested a person wanted on a minor pending charge, but Springfield Police said no information was available Thursday evening.

MassLive reported police said Rodriguez and Medina lived at 139 Sargeant St. in a building where Abreu’s girlfriend also resided, according to a police report filed in Rodriguez‘s court case. It said there had been an “ongoing dispute” between the neighbors stemming from disturbances between Rodriguez and Medina in their home.

City cameras captured the deadly April 18 incident, according to the police report.

MassLive reported before the shooting, Rodriguez and Abreu’s girlfriend got into an argument at a park near their building. Rodriguez said she “had something for them,” according to the police report.

Abreu then arrived at the Sargeant Street building in a minivan, and police say that Rodriguez and Medina assaulted him in his car. When Abreu’s girlfriend and another person tried to intervene, Rodriguez used a taser on them. Medina then shot Abreu in the neck, and then they both fled, the news report said.
