Mass. Murder Suspect, Fugitive Brother Caught In Seabrook

CONCORD, NH — A Massachusetts murder suspect and his brother were arrested Sunday by the U.S. Marshals Service as well as local and state police. Charles Demos, 29, pictured left, of Rochester, is accused of shooting Jarrod Harris, 42, of Everett, MA, on Saturday morning outside the Karma Lounge on Ferry Street. Harris succumbed to his injuries at Mass. General Hospital.

According to the Everett MA Police Department, after an altercation between Harris and a woman, Charles Demos was accused of grabbing a gun from vehicle, chased him, and shot him multiple times.

The task force along with the Mass. State Police's Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and Seabrook police developed information that Demos was hiding out at his parent's house.

"Late yesterday afternoon, a cooperative effort by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force from both NH and Mass., along with numerous members of the Seabrook Police Department were able to locate and arrest Charles Demos without incident at a residence on Collins Street in Seabrook," according to Jeffrey White, a deputy marshal.

Charles’ brother, Joshua Demos, 31, of Seabrook, was also located at the parent's home and was taken into custody on an outstanding federal arrest warrant issued out of U.S. District Court in Boston, on supervised released violations stemming from convictions on weapons offenses including felon in possession of a firearm.

The brothers were processed by Seabrook police. Charles Demos will be arraigned in Hampton District Court Monday and returned to Massachusetts if he waives extradition. Joshua Demos will be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Concord and then be taken to U.S. District Court in Boston to resolve his probation violations.

"The state of New Hampshire is a little bit safer now that these two armed and dangerous fugitives are in jail," said U.S. Marshal Nick Willard. "The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force prides itself in working seamlessly with all of our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to find and arrest these dangerous fugitives."

Task force members participating in the apprehension of the fugitives include members from the Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford, county sheriff’s offices, the Seabrook Police Department, the Mass. State Police, along with several deputy U.S. Marshals, White said.
