The police do not yet know when they will release the crime scene.
 Sketch of the suspect Also this morning, detectives are still on the lookout for the masked assailant who allegedly entered the house just after midnight yesterday with a gun. When the owner, Caesar Medeiros, confronted the suspect, he was shot in the arm. His wife, Claire, was shot in the leg and Caesar’s brother, Gabriel Medeiros, who was living with the couple, was shot in the chest and killed. The gunman escaped through a back door. After releasing a sketch of the assailant, the police say they’ve received several phone calls, but have not yet identified a suspect. The gunman is described as clean shaven, 5’8” to 5’10” with a thin build and red hair. Titus said the police “continue to talk” to the injured couple – Caesar and Claire Medeiros – about the incident. Both were released from the hospital late yesterday and Titus said they are being cooperative. It is unknown if the assailant is still in the Warwick area. Titus said Warwick residents who are concerned about safety should practice basic crime prevention: lock their doors, activate alarms and turn on floodlights if they are available. The police ask anyone with any information about the shootings to call them at (401) 468-4233 or (401) 732-8477. -- Journal staff writer Cynthia Needham Posted by Jack Perry CommentsDoreen | June 29, 2007 3:06 PM link How can you have a composite sketch of a "masked" assailant?

Cesar & Claire I'm so sorry that you have had to go through such a tragic event.
I'm equally sorry that the loss of your brother had to be a part of it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
