WORCESTER, Mass. — Investigators are working with surveillance video and other evidence connected to the deadly shooting of a Worcester woman and her daughter earlier this week, according to a police report obtained by NewsCenter 5.
Chasity Nuñez, of Worcester, and her 11-year-old daughter, Zella, were the victims of Tuesday’s shooting in the city’s Columbus Park neighborhood.
On Wednesday, the Worcester Police Department announced that 27-year-old Dejan Belnavis is wanted on charges of armed assault with intent to murder and possession of a firearm without a license.
A police report indicates that cellphone records suggest Belnavis was in the area at the time of the shooting and that investigators have surveillance video of the shooting.
“Two people walk up to the vehicle and start shooting, then they run in the direction where witnesses said a sedan was parked,” the report states.
The video also showed a vehicle, which matched a witness’ description of the one used after the shooting. Through the car’s built-in cellphone system, investigators said the vehicle was located in Hartford, Connecticut, near where a relative of Belnavis resides.
According to police, Belnavis is about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighs approximately 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
