Courtroom Explodes as Son Pleads Not Guilty in Mother’s Murder Case

A Massachusetts courtroom descended into chaos as Anthony Nunez-Romano, 26, entered a not guilty plea in the killing of his mother.

Prosecutors say a concerned family member requested a wellness check at the home. When police arrived, they discovered Dominga Romano, 55, dead in an upstairs bedroom, suffering from gunshot wounds to the hip and neck.

Authorities say Nunez-Romano claimed his mother was struck by a bullet fired through a window. However, investigators reported finding her face wrapped in paper towels and her body covered with a comforter, raising serious questions about the account.

The case has sparked intense reactions both inside the courtroom and across social media as the investigation continues.
