Concord Shooting Investigation Ongoing; Suspect Detained On Garvins Falls Road: Follow-Up

CONCORD, NH — Investigators are releasing limited information concerning a fatal shooting on Tuesday night on Garvins Falls Road but Patch has learned a suspect in the shooting was detained by the city’s SWAT team Wednesday morning.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office, in a release on Wednesday, said the investigation into the shooting on Garvins Falls Road “remains active and ongoing” but did not release the name of the victim or the suspect.

“It is expected that there will be a police presence in the area of Garvins Falls Road and Manchester Street,” Michael Garrity, the director of communications for the attorney general’s office, said. “Based on information currently known to investigators, all parties have been identified, and it does not appear at this time that there is any ongoing threat to the public.”

An autopsy of the victim, a man, will be performed Wednesday. More information is expected to be released later.

“Additional information will be released as it becomes available while protecting the integrity of the investigation,” Garrity said.

At around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, dispatch received a call about a man shot in the area who was now at the Dunkin' Donuts on Manchester Street. Dispatch said the man was conscious and breathing but was not looking good. Many police officers and state troopers arrived to assist.

For several hours, police searched for a suspect, a white man, dressed in black, with neck and facial tattoos. It was learned by police rather quickly that the victim and the shooting suspect were known to each other.

Late on Tuesday night, the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, the city’s “SWAT” team with a consortium of other communities, was called up after investigators believed the suspect in the shooting was at a home in the same area where the shooting reportedly took place.

The SOU was staged in the parking lot of the Red Blazer for a couple of hours. Around 1:45 a.m., the SOU began to make verbal commands of a suspect on Garvins Falls Road at a home near the Pembroke town line. At just before 2 a.m., the suspect was detained, according to scanner chatter.

Concord NH Patch will update when more information becomes available.
