MANCHESTER, NH - A local teen was arrested this week after allegedly threatening to shoot up his ex-girlfriend’s apartment because she wouldn’t speak to him in person, according to police.

Jeremy Luna, 19, with no fixed address, was arrested on April 13, 2016, and charged with domestic criminal threatening and witness tampering.

At around 10:30 p.m. on April 12, police were sent to Huse Road for a report of shots fired outside of a home. When they arrived, they spoke to a woman who alleged that her ex, Luna, had allegedly stopped by her apartment complex prior to a gunshot being heard, according to a report.

“Luna allegedly threatened her via text messaging because she refused to speak with him in person,” according to Lt. Brian O’Keefe of the Manchester Police Department. “Luna allegedly threatened to ‘shoot her place up’ if she didn’t see him. The victim felt threatened by his text messaging, so she refused to open the apartment door when Luna showed up uninvited.”

The woman stated that she thought Luna may have been involved in an altercation with another person outside of the apartment before the gunshot but didn’t see who fired the gun. Police later confirmed that a bullet went through the windshield of her vehicle which was parked outside, according to the report.

The next afternoon, Luna was arrested by the Special Enforcement Division at Don Quijote’s Restaurant on Union Street. He was not in possession of a gun, according to police. A witness tampering charge was added to his arrest though due to allegedly “texting her a gun emoji with a message pleading her not to contact police about the earlier incident,” according to O’Keefe.

Luna was arraigned earlier today.

“The criminal mischief to her vehicle (gunshot) is still under investigation, so no one has been formally charged at this time,” O’Keefe noted.
