MANCHESTER, NH – Manchester Police investigating a shooting earlier this week on West Street on the West Side believe they have the man involved – and picked two others in the process, according to police.

John Gebo, 30, of Amherst Street in Manchester, was arrested on June 9, 2016, on four counts of reckless conduct, felon in possession of a firearm, and a sale of a narcotic drug warrant. Also arrested last night were Kevlin Reddick, unknown address, for sale of a narcotic drug, and Brandon Griffin, 28, of Lowell Street in Manchester, for possession of a controlled drug-crack cocaine and falsifying physical evidence.

At the Belmont Street apartment, officers entered the home and arrested both Gego and Reddick.

Detectives also stopped a Nissan Altima at the intersection of Belmont and Hayward streets at the same time the warrant arrests were being issued. They spoke to the driver of the vehicle, who reportedly granted a consent search of her vehicle, and later, arrested Griffin, a passenger in the car. Detectives allege that he was attempting to hide a crack pipe inside a cigarette box during the stop, according to the press statement. 

Gebo, according to online reports, including Patch, was arrested after a burglary incident in Derry after surveillance footage reportedly caught him inside the house. Nearly two years ago, Reddick was arrested on numerous counts in Salem including robbery, assault, and drug possession, according to a post on Patch. He was arrested by Rockingham Sheriffs in April for failure to appear on a cocaine charge.
