Vermont State Police arrested 20-year-old Fabrice Rumama of Springfield, Massachusetts, on charges relating to a fatal shooting that occurred in Waterbury, Vermont. According to a report issued last Saturday, the incident in question took place at the Kneeland Flats Trailer Park on Oct. 14. Shawn Spiker was shot and killed, while Micheal Perry sustained injuries during the altercation inside one of the trailers. Rumama now faces a second degree murder charge for Spiker's death.
Fabrice Rumama is scheduled for arraignment for tomorrow, at 1:00 p.m. in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in Barre, as indicated by the state police. The judge has ordered Rumama jailed without bail pending the arraignment. Meanwhile, no charges have been brought regarding the shooting of Micheal Perry, and the investigation into this matter continues.
Details of the case remain limited until further information is released. The affidavit of probable cause is expected to be filed with the court following Rumama's arraignment, and will become available to the public at that time. Media outlets have been advised to contact the court directly to confirm the particulars of the upcoming hearing. This information comes directly from the Vermont State Police's update.
