A 32-year-old man sought for the alleged murder of a man in Brockton in Oct. 2020 was shot and killed in Tennessee early Saturday morning, according to the office of Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz.
Marvin Veiga, 32, was shot and killed by a Metro Nashville police officer early Saturday after he allegedly began walking towards the officer carrying large butcher knives in both of his hands, Cruz’s office said in a statement. Veiga was wanted for his alleged role in the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Manuel Duarte on Oct. 13, 2020.
Veiga, the passenger of a white Mercedes sedan, was pulled over by Metro Nashville Officer Christopher Royer just before midnight after a license plate check revealed the plate was registered to a 1998 green Chevrolet, said Don Aaron, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department in a press conference.
