The double slaying at Beaver Terrace
From the MWDN:
While this crime was shocking and upsetting to those who live in the Ham and especially those who live in that area, does it really surprise anyone that drug dealers are conducting business there? Clearly the poor souls who lost their lives went to the parking lot for some reason and it wasn't to pick up litter at 11:30 at night. Now we learn that the perpetrator was arrested in Holliston on some serious charges and made bail. Might it been the time to ask for a dangerous hearing before letting him post bail? Perhaps it's time for FPD and the people who live there to rid themselves of the bad actors and help create a safer place to live. The cops can't be everywhere all the time, but instead of spending lots of undercover time and money busting marijuana users, they may want to double down on that area with their Dug Task Force.
From the MWDN:
\FRAMINGHAM — A Framingham man was charged Tuesday with murder in the
shooting deaths of a father and son on Friday, authorities said.

Delgado-Torres, 39, was arrested at 2:30 p.m at the Embassy Suites in
Marlborough, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan announced at a
press conference at the Framingham Police station.
He is charged
with two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of James “Manny” Wade,
45, and his son James Wade, 24, both of Framingham. He is also charged
with possession of a large capacity gun magazine, possession of a gun,
and possession of ammunition.
“Recently, there have been conflicts between two groups of drug sellers who use that parking lot,” Ryan said.
On Friday, the Wades went to that lot to meet someone they knew for an unknown reason. Several people, including Delgado-Torres were there.

The guy was arrested in Marlborough, not Holliston, not that it matters. And not to disagree with you Jim but the police get paid to clean up this mess and I think you should not be encouraging or expecting residents with no training and no gun to go against these criminals who are not afraid to shoot. We should be demanding more from our cops.
This is a known bad area according to the DA so the police should be there moving the dealers out of the parking lot on a regular basis. But they don't. Just like they don't do a good job cleaning up the downtown. They can not be everywhere but if these dealers know the police are not going to bother them they have no motivation to move. You can not expect residents to clean this up, but yes, residents should be demanding more from the police, as should the mayor.
This is a tragedy for a family in Framingham. How about spending our time supporting them and having a community conversation about how we, as a community, can deal with these issues which are not unique to Framingham
Just a point of clarity, the suspect was arrested in Holliston a few months ago.
It's it's terrible tragedy I agree and I feel bad for the family members, but my point was, perhaps this and the last murder might have been avoided if the judicial system worked like it should have.
All valid points Jim. The city's response to these tragedies is abysmal. We should all have learned from the failure to respond in the Eurie Stamps murder but we have not. 3 Framingham residents have been murdered in Framingham in the last 3 months and yet the city has not held any community outreach to address the concerns of residents. What is it going to take for the electeds to step up?
Interesting to me that the choice for Council chair got more responses on this blog than the murder of two people. What does that say about us? Nothing good if you ask me.
Every community faces these issues of violence. What matters is how the community responds. I give Framingham a D
It does reveal something about us... when more readers comment on the City council chair that the the three murders that happened in that part of Town recently. If that had happened in north Framingham, the reaction would be entirely different imo, not only from our readers but the administration as well.
