Found Shell Casing Led Melrose Police To Bullet Holes In Home

MELROSE, MA — Police are investigating after gunshots were fired into a Carlida Road home Tuesday night.

Melrose police confirmed the shooting Thursday afternoon, saying no one was injured and there is no threat to the public.

Authorities said there were several reports of loud bangs after 10 p.m. Tuesday, but officers couldn't find where the noise came from.

The next day, police received an anonymous tip that a neighbor found a shell casing in front of the home. The neighbor also said they heard four gunshots and a car speed away.

Police returned to find a .40-caliber handgun shell casing in the street.

State and local police were at the scene Thursday morning. Authorities appeared to be prying multiple bullets out of the front of home at 28 Carlida Rd.

Several neighbors who to spoke to Patch and asked not to be identified said they have been uncomfortable with the house, noting drivers occasionally come and go, with people running in and out.

"Everyone on the street knows this," one person said.

Jordge Delago-Rivera and Maritza Medina live at the home, according to records. Both were indicted in 2017 on drug and money laundering charges after a massive Mexico-to-Massachusetts drug pipeline bust. The Middlesex District Attorney's office said their cases remain open. The next scheduled court dates are May 4.
