Welcome to Harwich Cape Cod 
Harwich - Cape Cod2010 Population: 12,243 The Town of Harwich is
a resort and residential community located on the south side of the Cape peninsula, with an extensive shoreline on Nantucket Sound.
Harwich was settled around 1665, and incorporated in 1694. The early economy of Harwich included agriculture and maritime industries and its history has
included boom and bust cycles from the earliest days of the community. When the whaling industry collapsed with the discovery of oil, the Harwich community's emphasis
shifted to cod fishing. By 1802, 15 to 20 ships were shore fishing and another four ships were cod fishing in Newfoundland and Labrador, and by 1851, there
were 48 ships employing 577 men and bringing in thousands of tons of cod and mackerel. The eventual decline of the fishing industry in Harwich by the latter part
of the 19th century was caused by increases in the size of ships which eventually outstripped the shallow port's ability to house them. Harwich residents turned to the development of
cranberry bogs and resorts for summer visitors, working side-by-side with Portuguese immigrants. The first Harwich resort hotel opened in 1880 and both the cranberry and the tourist industries
remain substantial parts of Harwich's economy. |

HARWICH, MASSACHUSETTS ? In a media statement, Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert J. Galibois announced today that Tatiana Jacobs, 26 years old, of Hyannis, MA, has been charged and arraigned for her involvement in the stabbing of a 33-year-old male, in Harwich MA. [Note: No state police booking photo of suspect was provided with the DA's statement?]
On Sunday May 18, 2025, at approximately 8:14 p.m., (see earlier HN report) Troopers with the MA State Police were dispatched to Route 6 eastbound around mile marker 82 in Harwich for a report of a party that had fallen out of a vehicle. Upon arriving on scene Troopers observed a male laying on his back with a large pool of ?reddish-brown substance? around him. It was observed that the victim was suffering from multiple injuries to his upper body. The victim was transported by medflight to a Boston area hospital for treatment.
As HN reported earlier, the male victim was suffering very serious wounds, ?while responding to the landing zone, EMTs could be heard describing the patient to the responding Medflight helicopter. According to radio transmissions, the patient was described as a male, approximately 32-years-old, approximately 185 lbs., suffering ?multiple stab wounds,? along with trauma from 'exiting a moving vehicle.' At one point, the patient was described as having an 'arterial bleed.'?
The DA's media statement continues as follows:
The initial investigation revealed earlier that same evening, at approximately 7:54 p.m. in the town of Barnstable, officers were dispatched to a reported disturbance of a man and woman fighting in a parking lot. Upon arrival officers spoke to witnesses that reported that the two individuals who were fighting had left the scene. Officers observed a vehicle in the parking lot that had a smashed windshield and all four tires flattened. The tires appeared to have been flattened due to slice or puncture marks in the tires with a sharp object. The vandalized vehicle belongs to the victim found in Harwich.
Tatiana Jacobs was arraigned in the Orleans District Court on Monday, May 19, 2025, on the charges of Armed Assault to Murder. The defendant was held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday 5/23/25 in the Orleans District Court.
The Cape & Islands District Attorney's Office reiterates that all defendants are presumed innocent.
In addition, WHDH in Boston is now reporting that Tatiana Jacobs is currently a cadet at the Barnstable County Sheriff's recruit training academy?

1. POLICE PUZZLED BY GUNSHOT VICTIM DISCOVERED ON ROUTE 6 EXIT RAMP
WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? [DEVELOPING] ? Yarmouth Police and Firefighters responded to Willow Street shortly before midnight last evening for a report of man with a gunshot wound. According to Yarmouth Police sources, a motorist discovered a man on one of the ramps to Route 6 suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm. The motorist began driving the injured male to Cape Cod Hospital. While en route to CCH, a phone call was made to police. Police instructed the Good Samaritan to pull over on Willow Street in the area of Eversource, where police and EMTs began providing first aid to the patient. The patient was immediately transported to CCH in an ambulance as police began investigating what happened. The patient's gunshot wound to his arm was not believed to be life-threatening, sources say. Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report?
Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ? HN will provide official updates as they become available?]

1. POLICE PUZZLED BY GUNSHOT VICTIM DISCOVERED ON ROUTE 6 EXIT RAMP
WEST YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS ? [DEVELOPING] ? Yarmouth Police and Firefighters responded to Willow Street shortly before midnight last evening for a report of man with a gunshot wound. According to Yarmouth Police sources, a motorist discovered a man on one of the ramps to Route 6 suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm. The motorist began driving the injured male to Cape Cod Hospital. While en route to CCH, a phone call was made to police. Police instructed the Good Samaritan to pull over on Willow Street in the area of Eversource, where police and EMTs began providing first aid to the patient. The patient was immediately transported to CCH in an ambulance as police began investigating what happened. The patient's gunshot wound to his arm was not believed to be life-threatening, sources say. Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report?
Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ? HN will provide official updates as they become available?]

Massachusetts State Troopers were immediately alerted because the shooting could have possibly happened somewhere on Route 6. Meanwhile, investigating officers were having a difficult time gathering information from the patient because of a ?language barrier.? Officers began checking Route 6, Willow Street (see above HN photo), and other Yarmouth locations for possible leads and evidence related to the shooting. Officers were also on the lookout for a potential suspect vehicle, but details regarding what actually happened and where the shooting actually occurred remain unclear at the time of this report?
Deputy Chief Andrew O'Malley spoke with HN at Yarmouth Police Headquarters early this morning. He described a puzzling investigation that remains very much active and ongoing at the time of this report. [DEVELOPING ? HN will provide official updates as they become available?]

HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? [DEVELOPING] ? At around 9:00 p.m. last evening, Barnstable Police and Hyannis Firefighters responded to West Main Street in front of Stop & Shop Gas for a report of a single-vehicle crash with injuries. Arriving first responders reportedly found two male patients suffering life-threatening injuries. West Main Street was completely shut down in the vicinity of the crash as first responders worked the scene. The Barnstable County Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit was called to the scene to assist with photos. Accident reconstruction experts were also called to the scene. The vehicle was eventually towed to a garage at Barnstable PD Headquarters as the investigation continued. The utility pole was snapped at the base and an Eversource truck was on scene when HN took the above photos.
Hours after the crash, a Barnstable Police source told HN that one of the occupants died from his injuries. The fatal crash victim was described as being from Ecuador.
The second occupant of the vehicle was described as being in critical condition.

3. DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE INVESTIGATING AFTER MAN FOUND W/ MULTIPLE LIFE-THREATENING STAB WOUNDS IN THE MIDDLE OF RTE. 6?
HARWICH, MASSACHUSETTS ? [DEVELOPING] ? At around 8:14 p.m. last evening, state troopers and Harwich Firefighters responded to Route 6 eastbound in the vicinity of Exit 82 for a report of someone suffering spinal and head injuries after they allegedly ?fell out of a car.? First responders found a man suffering life-threatening injuries in the middle of the highway. A Medflight helicopter was immediately requested to respond to a landing zone at the Cape Cod Regional Technical High School.
While responding to the landing zone, EMTs could be heard describing the patient to the responding Medflight helicopter. According to radio transmissions, the patient was described as a male, approximately 32-years-old, approximately 185 lbs., suffering ?multiple stab wounds,? along with trauma from ?exiting a moving vehicle.? At one point, the patient was described as having an ?arterial bleed.?
The patient was loaded into a Medflight helicopter and flown to an off-Cape trauma center.
HN responded to the Massachusetts State Police barracks in South Yarmouth early this morning at around 4:00 a.m? hours after the initial call. A number of state police detectives were at the barracks, apparently engaged in a serious investigation at that hour. When asked about the Harwich incident, troopers advised HN to contact the District Attorney's Office later today. [DEVELOPING]
