Police arrested a 22-year-old Dorchester man yesterday afternoon in the fatal shooting of a 21-year-old Brockton woman originally from Roslindale who he had been dating, police and family said.
Police charged Junior Fernandes, 22, of Dorchester with the murder of Alessa Castellon, who was found on Granger Street in Dorchester dead from gunshot wounds at 3:05 a.m. yesterday morning.
Fernandes will be charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm, police said.
Antonio Castellon told the Herald that his daughter had been dating Fernandes for about six months.
Castellon was studying in the criminal justice program at Bunker Hill Community College, her family said. She was living in Brockton by herself, Antonio Castellon said. Her sister Brenda Pierna said she was supposed to start a new job as a secretarial assistant at a Brockton auto body shop today.
“My wife and I were surprised when we heard the news and we just feel horrible,” Antonio Castellon said. “She was the type of person that didn’t take anything from anyone. She was smart, very personable.”
Castellon was the mother of 3 1⁄2-year-old Antonio Llamas, who was being raised by his grandparents.
Pierna, 26, said, “She was my best friend. She will really be missed by me and my family.”
