Incident narrative

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, at about 11:35 a.m., officers responded to the area of the park's boat ramp for a report of a man shot. Shortly after arriving, officers located several suspects fleeing the scene and took them into custody.

Investigators recovered a pistol. The Rhode Island State Police Dive Team assisted by searching the water during the investigation but found no additional evidence.

An investigation into the shooting, led by Detectives from the East Providence Police Department's Major Crimes and Bureau of Criminal Identification units, is active and ongoing.
