One of Massachusetts “Most Wanted” captured in New Bedford

Mr. Medeiros was indicted by a Bristol County Grand Jury in connection to the October 4, 2017 homicide of Angel Camacho in New Bedford. This defendant had strong ties to Fairhaven and New Bedford, but had also previously lived in Fall River.

We are excited to announce that one of Bristol County’s Most Wanted Fugitives was apprehended this morning, thanks in large part to tips submitted by the public!

These tips led members of the Bristol County District Attorney’s State Police Unit, New Bedford Police and the state police’s Violent Fugitives Apprehension Section to an apartment complex on Phillips Road in New Bedford. Once inside the apartment, police found the defendant, Jon Medeiros, hiding in a closet. He was arrested and taken into custody without incident. We would like to thank everyone who shared information about this fugitive from justice and provided tips.
