Jillian Tatro's Killer Guilty of First-Degree Murder
Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A Berkshire County jury on Tuesday returned a verdict of guilty in the murder of Jillian Tatro four years ago.
Jillian Tatro
Luis Rosado, 53, was found guilty of murder in the first degree with extreme atrocity for stabbing his 38-year-old wife to death in an apartment they shared at 46 Charles St. on May 28, 2022.
He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In a statement, Berkshire District Attorney Timothy Shugrue said his thoughts were with Tatro's family and that her son "demonstrated tremendous poise and courage during his testimony in the trial."
"Ms. Tatro was a victim of domestic violence. The most dangerous time in a victim of domestic violence life is when they are prepared to leave," he said. "We know that Jillian was planning to leave on the Tuesday following her murder. Her death is a tragic example of lethal consequence of domestic violence and the lasting impact these crimes have on families and communities."
He and Tatro had been married five months and during that time, Tatro had sought a restraining order against her husband.
Rosado had been convicted of domestic violence on another individual in October 2020. At the time, he was charged with three counts of assault and battery on a household member, strangulation and larceny and was sentenced to a minimum of a year in the Berkshire County House of Corrections.
