PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Providence police confirm they have a suspect in custody in connection with a shooting last summer that killed one man and wounded two others.

Detectives arrested 22-year-old Nathan Rodrigues on several charges, including the murder of 33-year-old Jhensen Baldayac, according to police.

Baldayac and two other men were shot the night of Aug. 3 on June Street . All three were taken to the hospital with severe injuries, and Baldayac died about two days later.

Police said they found more than 20 shell casings on the ground after the shooting. The following day, they located a vehicle on Goddard Street with more shell casings inside and bullet holes in the passenger door.

In addition to first-degree murder, police said Rodrigues is charged with drive-by shooting, carrying a pistol or revolver without a license, discharge of a firearm when committing a crime of violence resulting in death, and two counts each of discharge of a firearm when committing a crime of violence resulting in injury, assault and/or battery, and conspiracy.

Rodrigues was ordered held without bail at his arraignment on Thursday. He’s due back in court in August.
