Jose Ortiz of Worcester featured on unsolved homicide playing card

WORCESTER, Mass. (WWLP) – The state police featured a playing card on social media Saturday with the unsolved case of a Worcester victim.

Eight years ago, on August 24 of 2016, Jose Ortiz was shot at the corner of Eastern Ave and Elliott Street in Worcester. A minivan occupied by two to three men was seen leaving the shooting.

If you have any information that could be crucial to solving this case, you are asked to call 1-855-MA-SOLVE.

The Massachusetts State Police Department, the Massachusetts Department of Correction, and the District Attorney’s Offices collaborated to create playing cards that feature homicide and missing persons on them.

The cards are funded by the Department of Correction and are made available to state prison inmates. With this, they hope that they will be able to find out additional information about the crimes on the cards.
