A 24-year-old New Bedford man was indicted by a grand jury today in the 2005 slaying of a man in that city, Bristol County prosecutors said.
John J. Burgos Jr. allegedly shot Dana Haywood, 31, of New Bedford, near the intersection of Russell Street and Acushnet Avenue on July 4, 2005. Haywood was shot once in the chest and once in the head, Bristol District Attorney Sam Sutter said in a statement.
Burgos was indicted on a single count of murder and will be arraigned in New Bedford Superior Court at a date that has yet to be determined, Sutter said.
Burgos is in custody on drug and illegal firearms charges; he is also being held on a federal warrant, Sutter said.
First Assistant District Attorney William McCauley led the investigation by the Unsolved Homicides Unit, Sutter said.
