Four people were arraigned Monday on murder charges in the death of a Worcester man who was shot to death in December, authorities announced.
Adrian Rodriguez, 33, of Fitchburg; Darius Perkins, 21, of Worcester; Dylan Driscoll, 19, of Fitchburg; and Jorge Rolon, 17, of Fitchburg, were each indicted on a murder charge by a Worcester County Grand Jury, the Worcester County District Attorney’s office said in a statement. Driscoll, Perkins, and Rolon were each indicted on three firearm charges, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition without an FID card.
Worcester police responded to a report of gunshots near 58 Dorchester St. around 2:30 a.m. Dec. 16. There, the DA said, officers found the victim, 28-year-old Obed Addow of Worcester, suffering from several gunshot wounds inside his vehicle.
According to the DA’s office, Rodriguez, Perkins, and Rolon were arrested on Dec. 22 in Fitchburg and Driscoll was arrested in New Jersey. Rolon was initially charged in Juvenile Court on the murder charge.
All four have been in custody since they were arrested in December in connection with the shooting.
They were held without bail at their arraignment Monday and will return to court on May 2, according to the DA’s office. Attorney information for the four was not immediately available.
