"If any member of the public has information on where Mr. Delossantos is, we ask them not to approach or speak to him, but to call Randolph Police at 781-963-1212," Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey said in a statement.
Morrissey added that 28-year-old Bianca Chionchio had also been charged with accessory after the fact of murder for allegedly driving Johnson and Delossantos to New York after the shooting. She pleaded not guilty and has been released on $15,000 cash bail. She is due back in court on June 9.
Cabral’s mother spoke with NBC10 Boston after the shooting last year. She said she wasn’t prepared to lose her son.
"He wasn't affiliated with gangs, he went to work, he came home, he went to the gym every single day," she said. "He was an amateur boxer, and he just got finished getting his CDL license."
