Suspect In Worcester Killing May Be In Virginia: Police

WORCESTER, MA — Worcester police have identified a suspect in a fatal April shooting, and believe the person may have traveled to Virginia.

Worcester police Thursday said they are searching for Lino Menijvar, who last lived along Jefferson Street in Worcester, to arrest him on charges of armed assault to murder, carrying a gun without a license, carrying a loaded gun and firing a gun within 500 feet of a building.

Near 2 a.m. on April 13, Worcester police responded to near the intersection of Dale and Allendale streets on a report of a shooting. They found Bob Nuah, 24, wounded at the scene. Nuah died later at a local hospital.

Police said Thursday that Menijvar, 30, was last known to be in Virginia, but do not know if he is still there. Police warned that Menijvar is likely armed because they did not find a gun in connection to Nuah's shooting.

Nuah was the fourth fatal shooting victim in Worcester so far in 2024 following the double-fatal shooting along Lisbon Street, and the killing of a 17-year-old in February.
