Police respond to separate ‘shots fired’ incidents, searching for wanted New Bedford man

“NEW BEDFORD – Police responded to two separate incidents of shots fired last night and are so far seeking to place one male into custody.

Last night at around 1 AM, police responded to a ShotSpotter activation in the area of the Summer St./Weld St. intersection. Upon arrival, they discovered damage to the window of a Summer St. residence. No injuries were reported, and detectives are now furthering that investigation.

At about the same time, units responded to a Yale St. residence regarding a male with a gun. Further investigation shows that a suspect identified as Mr. ALFREDO LOYA, 22, discharged a firearm at the residence before fleeing the scene.

LOYA already has several active warrants for his arrest and will also be wanted on these new charges stemming from last night’s incident.

If you have any information regarding last night’s shootings, the whereabouts of Mr. LOYA, or anything else you would like to share with the police, you can do so anonymously by visiting our website, newbedfordpd.com, or by calling 508-99-CRIME.”-New Bedford Police Department.
