Peabody Man Named As Victim In Fatal Lowell Shooting

LOWELL, MA -- A Peabody man has been identified as the victim of Thursday's fatal shooting near the Lowell Commuter Rail station. Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Friday morning that Graciela Paulino, 20, of Lowell, had been arrested in the shooting death of Mark Devoe, 34 of Peabody. Ryan said the shooting was a random road rage incident in which Paulino followed Devoe in her car before shooting him in the chest.

Devoe had been working at a nearby construction site, Ryan said. After being shot at about 12:45 pm Thursday he got into his car but crashed a short distance later. A passenger in Dvoe's car tried to perform CPR before he was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police arrested Paulino Thursday. She was arraigned Friday morning in Lowell District Court.
