WITHIN THE PAST HOUR. SHAUN. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. POLICE SAY LATE TONIGHT THEY ARRESTED 18 YEAR OLD MISAEL PENA CANELLA OF SALEM, CHARGING HIM WITH THE MURDER OF THAT SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PLAYER. BUT TONIGHT, THE BIG QUESTION IS MOTIVE. IT WAS AMAZING FOR ME AS A MOTHER. I ALWAYS HAPPY AND PROUD OF HIM. HE HAD A SCHOLARSHIP, A FULL SCHOLARSHIP, AND HE’S A PROMISING STAR. FAMILY AND FRIENDS SAY CARL HENNES BELLIARD WAS A STANDOUT PLAYER AND A STANDOUT PERSON. WELL, HE WAS A GREAT PERSON, BUT HE WAS REALLY LIKE, ALWAYS AROUND, SMILING ALL THE TIME, ALWAYS SMILING, BRO. I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HIM. REALLY MAKE SOME SENSE. LATE HALLOWEEN NIGHT, HIS CAR RIDDLED WITH BULLETS. THE 18 YEAR OLD’S LIFE CUT SHORT STEPS AWAY FROM CAMPUS JUST AS HIS STORY WAS BEGINNING AT SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY, HIS HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL COACH MOURNING THE YOUNG MAN WHOSE WORCESTER TEAM HAD JUST WON STATE. HE WORKED HARD EVERY DAY IN PRACTICE, HAD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, WORKED HARD. HE WAS JUST A VERY AMBITIOUS YOUNG MAN. SALEM’S FORMER MAYOR, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR KIM DRISCOLL, HONORING CARL EARLIER THIS YEAR. HIS TEAM HEARING CONDOLENCES FROM THE GOVERNOR AS HIS SALEM TEAMMATES HUDDLED QUIETLY AT A MEMORIAL SIGNING A BASKETBALL. EVERYONE HEARTBROKE OVER THE SENSELESS VIOLENCE. HIS PARENTS DEVASTATED, DEMANDING JUSTICE. I JUST WANT JUSTICE FOR MY SON BECAUSE THIS GUNSHOT, THEY HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR LIVES FOR NO REASON. AGAIN, NOT MANY ANSWERS TONIGHT ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED OR WHY, BUT THE DA SAID THAT MORE WILL BE REVEALED FIELD WHEN THE SUSPECT IS ARRAIGNED IN SALEM DISTRICT COURT TOMORRO
