The East Taunton, Massachusetts, man who has been charged in Friday's fatal shooting in the same city was arraigned in court on Monday morning.

Thirty-six-year-old Dustin Humanes has been ordered held without bail, as he faces multiple charges in the murder of Alvaro Andrade: murder, carrying an illegal firearm and carrying a loaded illegal firearm, according to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.

Humanes was arrested on Friday afternoon in Fall River, prosecutors said. They say a police officer in Fall River discovered that he had checked into Saint Anne's Hospital under a false name.

The case remains under investigation.

The Taunton Police Department said that it was called to a Winthrop Street home at around 7:40 a.m. Friday for a report of someone getting shot. When police got there, they found a man in the driver's seat of a Jeep with gunshot wounds, authorities said.

First responders gave care to the victim and then took him to a local hospital. Andrade, who was 33 years old and from Taunton, was pronounced dead at Morton Hospital just after 9 a.m.
