Identity & Background
Jared Ravizza is an individual with a presence—at least formerly—on social media, where he self-identified as an artist, model, and entrepreneur who claimed to run a global digital marketing agency. He posted images suggesting a lifestyle of travel, modeling, and philanthropy
Criminal Allegations & Incidents
On May 25, 2024, Ravizza was identified as the suspect in a series of violent incidents that occurred across Massachusetts and Connecticut:
In Connecticut, authorities named him a suspect in the homicide of his 70‑year‑old roommate, Bruce Feldman, as well as the killing of two dogs at their shared residence in Deep River. Investigators described finding a “grisly scene” when entering the home.
In Massachusetts that same day, Ravizza allegedly:
Entered an AMC movie theater in Braintree and stabbed four girls aged between 9 and 17. All victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Later stopped at a McDonald’s rest stop on Route 3 in Plymouth, where he first stabbed a male employee through the drive-thru window, then reentered the restaurant and attacked a female employee—both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries. He also reportedly urinated in the drive-thru during the incident.
He was arrested in Sandwich, MA, after crashing his vehicle while fleeing law enforcement
Legal Proceedings
Ravizza was arraigned and charged with multiple counts including assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and indecent exposure for the McDonald’s incident. He was also charged in connection with the theater stabbings, and had previously undergone a 20-day mental evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital.
In October 2024, he pleaded not guilty to the indictments and his attorney indicated they planned to pursue a mental health defense.
In July 2025, charges from an earlier assault on his father in West Tisbury (on Martha’s Vineyard) were dismissed due to the father’s refusal to cooperate with prosecution.
Summary
Jared Ravizza is an island resident (Martha’s Vineyard) originally from Agawam, Massachusetts. He garnered attention via social media for a flamboyant lifestyle and creative work. However, that attention was overshadowed by a violent, multi-state incident on May 25, 2024, where he allegedly carried out a deadly homicide in Connecticut and a stabbing spree in Massachusetts. He is currently facing serious criminal charges and remains in custody as the legal process continues.
