A Woonsocket man is being found guilty for a fatal shooting in Providence.
Attorney GHeneral Peter Neronha says Adauris Garcia was convicted of second-degree murder, discharging a firearm resulting in death and carrying a gun without a license for the shooting of Isaias Bulus of Providence.
The incident reportedly happened on April 11th, 2021 during a drug transaction in a car on Atlantic Avenue.
“Last week, we released our annual gun crime report, and it demonstrates that our communities continue to be inundated with guns. Unfortunately, more guns in the hands of criminals means more gun violence and gun deaths,” said Attorney General Neronha. “With our law enforcement partners, we will continue to aggressively enforce all of Rhode Island’s gun laws to make Rhode Islanders safer and to promote justice and accountability. I am grateful for the jury’s verdict in this case, which will no doubt result in decades of well-deserved prison time. And once again, I thank the men and women of the Providence Police Department for their outstanding work here and in so many other cases.”
Garcia is being held at the ACI pending a sentencing.
