Patrolwoman Amy Bibeault had heard shots fired in the area of Bridgham and Cranston streets around 10:19 p.m., Boranian said.
Carrero was found covered in blood inside a white Ford Windstar van with a gunshot wound to his head, face, torso, arms and hands. Police found a shotgun shell on the corner of Bridgham and Cranston streets.
The van was stopped near a house at 168 Bridgham St., Boranian said. There was a female passenger in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, according to the police report, but the woman was not injured.
