WORCESTER Shouts of basta! enough! rose from Chandler Street on Friday evening, as friends, family and community members gathered to remember Carlos Cruz, who was gunned down outside the Paku Lounge Restaurant last week.
Cruz, 44, had been at the restaurant and had allegedly retrieved a gun from his car as a confrontation between two groups appeared to be heating up outside, according to court testimony during the arraignment of Angel Ortiz-Santos, 28.
Ortiz-Santos was arraigned this week on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injuries and possession of a firearm without a license, in connection with the May 8 slaying.
