Woman Charged in Connection with Double Shooting in Bedford​

JUNE 6, 2024 BY JGPRROBERT

BEDFORD – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Bedford Chief of Police John Fisher have confirmed that Jessica Cavallaro, 24, of Bedford has been charged with murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury and illegal possession of a firearm in the alleged shooting of her parents this morning on Washington Street in Bedford.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., Bedford Police received a call from a Washington Street resident who reported that the defendant had allegedly told them that she had shot her parents in a car outside. Upon arrival, police located the defendant’s mother, a 56 year old Bedford woman, dead inside a car on the lawn of an adjacent Washinton Street home. The defendant’s father, a 56 year old Bedford man, was transported to an area hospital where he later died. The firearm was also recovered.

Jessica Cavallaro was arrested on scene without incident and will be arraigned in Concord District Court later today.

This is an open and ongoing investigation being conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, the Bedford Police Department and State Police Detectives assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.

The assigned Assistant District Attorneys are Suzanne Kontz and Mary O’Neill. The Victim Witness Advocate is Cassandra Aviles.

The names of Cavallaro’s parents haven’t been made public.

Cavallaro was identified as the suspected shooter and taken into custody by police without incident.

Cavallaro is the “significant other” of a resident who lives at the home where the 911 call originated but she resides at a different address on Washington Street, according to Ryan.

Some possible history of mental illness. There was a Go Fund Me page but not sure who it was for. Trying to find more details...

Correction: a Facebook page (the parents?) with a link to a mental health fundraiser.

Details emerge in alleged killing of parents by their daughter in Bedford

The father of Cavallaro’s boyfriend told police that she may have gotten the murder weapon from a safe in his home, according to a police report obtained by The Boston Globe. He told officials that his son also owned guns and there were at least four more weapons in the house.

As she was being arrested, Cavallaro told police that she was “thinking about suicide,” according to the Globe. She registered as being at “medium risk” on a suicide evaluation form.

A Facebook page that appears to have belonged to Cavallaro’s parents raised money for a mental illness fundraiser in April. The fundraiser, appearing under Mark Cavallaro’s name, was gathering donations for a walk organized by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
