Massachusetts stabbing spree suspect Jared Ravizza claimed to be a model

Massachusetts stabbing spree suspect claimed to be a male model and CEO, but is now facing charges for multiple assaults.

Jared Ravizza, a 26-year-old man suspected of a stabbing spree in Massachusetts that injured six people, including three children, has claimed to be a male model and a CEO. In interviews, he boasted about his skills as a pro skier, model, philanthropist, and the leader of Ravizza Group, a marketing company he founded. Despite glowing profiles describing him as an international "serial entrepreneur and media mogul," there is little evidence to support his claims.

The stabbing incident occurred at a Braintree movie theater where four young girls between the ages of 9 and 17 were attacked, as well as two McDonald's employees in Plymouth. This led to a police chase that ended in a crash and Jared's subsequent arrest. While the victims received medical treatment for their injuries, none were life-threatening.

In addition to the Massachusetts incident, Jared is also being investigated in connection to a murder in Connecticut after a body was found in Deep River. He has recently changed his appearance on social media, adopting a more feminine look and going by the name Jared Love Jones.

Jared's father, Jason Ravizza, a licensed mental health counselor, has also been involved in a domestic incident with his son in the past. Jared was arrested in April on Martha's Vineyard for assault and battery on a family member and vandalism. Reports indicate that Jared had a mental break and attacked his father, causing damage to the home office.

Neighbors of the Ravizza family in Agawam, Massachusetts, noted that Jared and Jason abruptly left town two years ago, leaving behind Jared's wife, Kim. The family's return has surprised many in the community. Residents of Martha's Vineyard also shared stories of Jared's bizarre and hostile behavior on the island, where he claimed to be a model in Los Angeles.

Jared is facing charges of assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon for the recent attacks in Massachusetts. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday and has yet to enter a plea. The complex and troubling story of Jared Ravizza continues to unfold, revealing a man with a troubled past and a series of disturbing incidents.
