Staff Reports
Police are investigating the death of Joshusa Bressette as a homicide.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The body of a missing North Adams man has been discovered in Bronx, N.Y.

The death Joshua S. Bressette is being investigated as a homicide, according to Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless.

Bressette was last seen by friends in the city on Monday, May 5, and his information was entered into a law enforcement missing persons database.

According to Capeless, members of the Berkshire County Law Enforcement Task Force were contacted Wednesday by New York Police Department homicide detectives.

NYPD investigators indicated they found the body of an unidentified man matching Bressette's description in the Bronx.

The body was positively identified Thursday morning.

According to numerous reports from New York City news sources, the body of a man fitting Bressette's description, including a full skeleton tattoo on his torso, was found with gunshot wounds to the head and back atop a roof in the Gun Hill housing project in the Bronx last Thursday night, May 8.

There was reportedly heroin on the body but no ID. The six 13- and 14-story Gun Hill projects buildings on Magenta Street house more than 1,500 people.

Members of the task force are assisting New York detectives with the investigation.

Pittsfield Cracking Down on ATV Use In Parks

Staff Reports

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city is going to crack down on illegal use of motorized vehicles in public parks.

The city's Board of Park Commissioners released a statement Monday saying it has received numerous complaints of off-road vehicles being used in parks. The Police Department is "aware of this growing problem and will be strictly enforcing" the regulation.

Unauthorized use of off-road vehicles in city parks is punishable with a $200 fine and maybe more if "malicious damage" occurs.

Residents are also asked to contact the Police Department if they see off-road vehicles - "especially dirt bikes" - operating in city parks.
