Two arrested in Fall River stabbing murder

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Two men have been arrested in the stabbing death of Jason S. Glover, 28, who police found fatally wounded last night at 788 Dwelly St.

Christopher M. Fisher, 21, and Derek Carvalho, 18, both of 820 Dwelly St., were identified by witnesses as the assailants, and both have been charged with murder, police Lt. Jeffrey Cardoza said today.

The victim, who sustained multiple stab wounds to the upper body, was still alive when police arrived on the scene, about 8 p.m, Cardoza said.

Glover was taken to Anne’s Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police, using information from witnesses, launched an extensive search for the suspects, whom they arrested later last night. Witnesses at the scene identified Fisher and Carvalho, Cardoza said. The suspects were held overnight for arraignment today.

Detectives have learned that the murder occurred in the area of the porch at 820 Dwelly St. They have not identified a motive for the stabbing, Cardoza said.
