Three days after being released from prison, a Rio Claro man was shot dead in his home on Saturday evening.
Police said Anderson Nicholas, 28, of Lazzari Road, was inside his house around 5 pm when a gunman shot him twice.
A relative told police the gunman asked for Nicholas by name before committing the act. The attacker walked through the house, went up to Nicholas and fired at his head and chest at point blank range. He then calmly walked out and escaped.
Police have since obtained a description of the suspect. An autopsy will be done on Nicholas’s body today. Investigations are continuing.
