Letter: Vote for Greylock on Oct. 8

To the Editor:

Dear North Adams Neighbors,

We are writing today in support of the new Greylock School project. Education has always been our family's priority, and we were very lucky to have received a complete early childhood education. Early education is the foundation on which everything in a community, such as ours, is built upon.

The effects of the new school project will be felt for generations and build a strong foundation for the future of our community. This is why the passing of the Greylock School Project, an opportunity provided to all children in North Adams, is important to us and our family.

Please support the Greylock School Project and come out to vote on Oct. 8 because it will be crucial for securing a brighter, stronger community. Let’s come together to make a lasting impact on the children of North Adams.

Grace and Charlotte Towler

Jillian Tatro's Killer Guilty of First-Degree Murder

Staff Reports 03:25PM / Tuesday, May 12, 2026

Jillian Tatro

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A Berkshire County jury on Tuesday returned a verdict of guilty in the murder of Jillian Tatro four years ago. 

 

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 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.

 

He went on trial for murder this past week in Pittsfield and was found guilty by a Berkshire Superior Court jury. Sentencing has not yet occurred. 

 

The conviction was announced on Tuesday morning by Berkshire District Attorney Timothy Shugrue at the arraignment of David L. Boucher, who is charged with murder in the death of his father. 

 

"While we were waiting here this morning, [a jury] returned a verdict of guilty in the first degree, cruel and atrocious behavior. So I don't know when the sentence will be. I don't know whether it will be life without parole," he said. "Obviously, I really want to congratulate the North Adams Police Department and all the departments of law enforcement that worked hard on this case."
