Four charged with murder in deadly Dorchester Street ambush

WORCESTER, MASS. — Four men were indicted for murder on Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old man found gunned down inside a car on Dorchester Street in December, prosecutors said.

Adrian Rodriguez, 33, of Fitchburg; Darius Perkins, 21, of Worcester; Dylan Driscoll, 19; and Jorge Rolon, 17, both of Fitchburg, were arraigned on murder charges after a Worcester County Grand Jury handed up indictments, according to Worcester County District Attorney Joseph D. Early, Jr.

Driscoll, Perkins, and Rolon were also indicted on firearms charges, including possession of a loaded firearm, possession of a firearm, and possession of ammunition without an FID card.

The four are accused in the killing of Obed Addow, who was found shot multiple times in his vehicle at 58 Dorchester St. around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 16, 2024. Worcester Police responded to reports of gunfire and discovered Addow suffering from critical injuries.

All four suspects were arrested on Dec. 22. Rodriguez, Perkins, and Rolon were taken into custody in Fitchburg, while Driscoll was apprehended in New Jersey, officials said.

Rolon, initially charged in Juvenile Court, was arraigned in Worcester Central District Court on Dec. 30. Rodriguez, Perkins, and Driscoll were arraigned on Jan. 3. All four have been held without bail since their arrests.

The cases are scheduled to return to court on May 2.
