Warrant Issued For Manchester Shooting Suspect

MANCHESTER, NH — Manchester police are asking for the public’s help finding a shooting suspect from an incident in mid-September.

Around 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 12, police were sent to the Taco Bell on South Willow Street for a report of a shooting. Officers spoke with witnesses who claimed there were several vehicles in the parking lot and someone fired a gun at one of the cars. The driver then fled the scene, Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the department, said.

“Through the investigation,” she added, “police learned that the individual in that car had also pointed the gun at someone and made a verbal threat.”

Through the course of an investigation, police accused Joseph Finan, 26, of Derry, of being the driver of the car that fled the scene and issued a warrant for his arrest on reckless conduct and criminal threatening charges.

Anyone with information about Finan’s whereabouts was asked to call Det. Max Rahill at 603-792-5555.
