Mass. teen arrested in slaying of young mother

By CBS 3 Springfield News

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) - A New Bedford teen has been ordered
held without bail after pleading not guilty to killing a young
mother in a shooting outside his home.

Seventeen-year-old Erick Cournoyer is accused of killing
18-year-old Bianca Maria Rosado on Wednesday night and wounding her boyfriend, 17-year-old Victor Camacho. Camacho was treated and
released at a local hospital.

Cournoyer was arrested Thursday and arraigned Friday.

Police haven't released a motive, but told The Standard-Times of
New Bedford they don't think it's gang related.

Rosado graduated from New Bedford High School last month. In her
yearbook, she said her happiest times were when she was with
"Victor Camacho and our son."

It was the fourth homicide in New Bedford in less than three
weeks.
