Nicholas Mendes is sought for the 2008 murder of Derrick Hogue. Mendes, most wanted by the Fall River Police Department, is also wanted by the Brockton Police for a 2005 shooting incident that occurred in the City of Brockton. Both cities are located in or near the Southeastern Massachusetts region, therefore, giving to the likelihood this fugitive is still in the region.

Police responded to a second-floor apartment at 108 Hamlet Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, after receiving a 911 call at 1:35 a.m. Upon arrival officers discovered the victim. Fugitive Nicholas Mendes reportedly remained in the vicinity of the homicide and misled police during the investigation. In addition, multiple gunshots were purportedly heard by residents in the area at the time of the homicide. However, Bristol County District Attorney's office and police have declined to acknowledge the cause of death, it can be presumed Derrick Hogue died of one or more gunshots. Therefore, it is important to consider Nicholas Mendes to be extremely dangerous and probably in possession of a firearm.

Furthermore, Southeastern Massachusetts loosely refers to the area of Massachusetts that is culturally and economically linked to Providence, Rhode Island and Boston. Fall River is located 18 miles west of Providence RI, while Brockton, although normally excluded from the area, is 26 miles south of Boston. Therefore, since Nicholas Mendes is known to have resided in the region for at least three years, we will dub him the Southeastern Mass fugitive killer.
