WORCESTER, MA — Two men have been arrested and charged following an August shooting death in Worcester.
Malek Matos, 34, and Robert Dupuis, 30, were arrested outside of Massachusetts, police reported over the weekend. They appeared in court Monday on charges of aggravated assault and battery, and were ordered held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing, according the Worcester County District Attorney.
The shooting happened at around 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 16 along Cambridge Street. Dupuis was shot in the hand during the incident, and was treated at a local hospital. The victim, Quentin Jacobs-Hylton, 25, was taken to the hospital in a private vehicle and was later pronounced dead.
Worcester police had issued warrants for Matos and Dupuis in mid-August.
