Camacho’s murder trial is underway

Chelsea, Massachusetts

Last week marked the beginning of proceedings in the case against a 23-year-old East Boston resident accused of fatally shooting a 27-year-old Everett man at King Arthur’s Lounge in Chelsea. On Monday, the jury toured the location where the crime occurred. The defendant, known as “Fat Jesse,” faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with the January 24, 2008, death of Jeff Santiago, 27, of Everett. In addition to the murder charge, Camacho, 23, of East Boston, is being prosecuted on two counts of attempted murder stemming from injuries sustained by two other men during the same shooting.
