Prime Suspect Jared Ravizza Charged with Murder and Stabbings in Massachusetts and Connecticut

In a shocking turn of events, Jared Ravizza, a 26-year-old man from Martha's Vineyard, is the prime suspect in a series of violent attacks that took place in Massachusetts on May 28, 2024. The incidents include the murder of Bruce Feldman, a 70-year-old man in Deep River, Connecticut; a stabbing spree at an AMC theater in Braintree where four girls were injured; and two separate stabbings at a McDonald's in Plymouth.

According to reports from various sources, Ravizza had been sharing a house with Feldman for around two weeks before the murder. The body of the elderly man was discovered on Saturday afternoon during Ravizza's stabbing spree in Massachusetts. Four girls were slashed at the AMC theater in Braintree, and two people were stabbed at a McDonald's in Plymouth.

Ravizza was arrested later that day after the stabbings in Massachusetts. He had previously been arrested on Martha's Vineyard for allegedly attacking his father.

Locals believe Ravizza also killed Feldman's gray poodle named Lily and another black dog, but this has not been confirmed by authorities.

The attacks occurred just hours after Ravizza drove from Connecticut to Massachusetts. The first attack happened at the AMC theater in Braintree where four girls were stabbed without warning. Ravizza then fled the scene and went to a McDonald's in Plymouth, where he stabbed two employees.

Ravizza was charged with eight counts of assault and two counts of murder. He is currently being held without bail at Plymouth District Court.

The victims are recovering from their injuries, but the emotional trauma caused by this senseless violence will undoubtedly stay with them for a long time. The families of the victims and Feldman's loved ones are grieving and seeking answers as to why this happened.

This is a developing story, and more information will be released as it becomes available.
