FALL RIVER -- A son and his father who allegedly shot a mother and her daughter in what a prosecutor described as an “ambush” near Kennedy Park on Tuesday night were arraigned on Wednesday and ordered held without bail until a dangerousness hearing next week.

Joshua Burgos, 21, of 372 Mulberry St., and his father, Elvis Burgos, 40, of the same address, are each charged with three counts of assault with intent to murder, discharging a firearm and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.

A plea of not guilty was entered on behalf of the two men Wednesday, and a dangerousness hearing was scheduled for July 14.

The women were listed in stable condition Wednesday, according to police.

Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Danielle Pixley described to Judge Kevin Finnerty the events that night that left both women hospitalized in stable condition with gunshot wounds. A 12-year-old boy who was in the back seat of the women’s vehicle was unhurt during the barrage of gunfire.

During the investigation, police reported finding 14 shell casings in the area of the shooting.

Pixley said that around 8 p.m. police received a call from a woman who said her daughter was being threatened with a gun by someone named “Josh.” Police arrived in the area of Mulberry Street and received information the woman threatened with the gun was on her way to the police station.

The women never arrived, but another call came in that a woman had been shot in the head near Kennedy Park.

Pixley said the woman shot was the mother of the woman who was initially threatened and that the bullet entered at the base of her left ear and exited out of her left eye.

The daughter, 33, suffered two gunshot wounds to the leg. The daughter told police, “Josh shot her," and "Tell me she’s OK.”

Police went to the Burgoses' home where they found the father and son and three other females.

Initially, Elvis Burgos denied that he had been outside when the shootings occurred. However, surveillance cameras footage collected by police reportedly told another story.

“It appears through surveillance that both parties had essentially ambushed the vehicle, the victims' car, and had struck it multiple times, striking the car with two different firearms,” said Pixley.

The mother was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, and the daughter is at Saint Anne’s Hospital.

On Wednesday morning, police were still at the crime scene, with a portion of Mulberry Street in front of the triple decker where the two Burgoses live.

A man who identified himself as a resident of Mulberry Street said he arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting occurred. He said he saw the victims’ vehicle crashed on Bradford Street with the suspects’ vehicle behind it, and that it appeared the two men had intended to run the victims off the road. The impact was so great, he said, the victims’ vehicle lost one of its wheels.

“You could tell he tried to run them off the road,” he said, declining to give his name.

He said a bullet hole was visible in the suspects’ vehicle’s windshield.

The man said his son heard about 14 or 15 shots fired.

“This is really sad, especially with all the kids in the neighborhood,” he said.

The father and son Burgoses are not new to allegations that they’ve committed crimes together.

In 2017, Elvis Burgos pleaded guilty to conspiring with his girlfriend and making his teenage son in 2013 rob a Fall River McDonald’s.

According to witness statements, Burgos’ girlfriend, a shift manager at the McDonald’s, went to the fast-food restaurant around an hour before her shift began and opened a side door, through which Burgos’ then 14-year-old son entered a few minutes later, armed with a handgun.

Witnesses reportedly said the teen pistol-whipped the shift manager and ordered her to open the restaurant’s safe. After taking cash, he left the McDonald’s and was supposed to have met his father, Elvis Burgos, behind the Stop & Shop on Rodman Street, according to court documents.

Elvis Burgos allegedly decided to have his son commit the armed robbery after he was unable to find someone else to commit the crime, according to court documents.

Burgos was placed on probation for 18 months.
