Two Holyoke, Massachusetts, men have been arrested in connection with the shooting death earlier this year of a 71-year-old Springfield man.
The suspects, identified by Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni as 32-year-old Jose Villegas Rodriguez and 24-year-old Edward Gonzalez are scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Springfield District Court.
Police responded to a reported shooting around 5:45 p.m. on Jan. 25 outside a city home.
Upon arrival officers located Juan Zayas, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities have not released a possible motive.
It's not clear if the defendants had lawyers.
Zayas, whose son is a state trooper, was the city's first homicide victim of 2016.
