A Brockton man who police say fatally shot a woman and later shot himself the same day has died in a hospital, prosecutors said. Gelson Fernandes, 29, had been sought by authorities who obtained an arrest warrant charging him with murder in the death of 22-year-old Stephanie Beatty, of Norwich, Connecticut, when they found him “with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound” on Friday night, the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office said. Fernandes was taken to a Boston hospital where he remained for treatment on Saturday, but he has since died, a spokesperson for the DA’s office said Monday.

It’s the jolliest yard on the South Shore. 150 inflatables and so much heart

Eat your heart out, Clark Griswold, Tim Young is here to put your Christmas display to shame. The Hanson homeowner, along with his wife, Kim, and longtime friend Ken Stone, continue to build upon the initially modest Christmas display they started when the Youngs moved into the home at 16 Woodbrook Lane off King Street in 1998. What started with some lights here and a few inflatable displays there has expanded to the point where well over 150 inflatable characters line their entire front lawn − and even a little bit of their neighbor’s (with permission, of course).

Brockton man with nearly 200 adult arraignments sentenced to prison for Easton break-ins

A Brockton man with nearly 200 adult arraignments was sentenced to 4 years in prison for breaking into several vehicles in Easton, then being found with an illegal gun when he crashed his car. James Widener, 48, pleaded guilty last week in Fall River Superior Court to indictments charging him with two counts of breaking and entering into a vehicle, two counts of larceny under $1,200, one count of carrying an illegal firearm, one count of receiving stolen property under $1,200, one count of use of a motor vehicle without authority and one count of negligent operation of a motor vehicle. The charges stem from an incident on April 22, 2022, when Widener was accused of breaking into multiple vehicles and stealing property from inside of them in Easton.
