NH Juvenile Arrested on Murder, Other Charges

FARMINGTON, NH — New Hampshire investigators made an arrest yesterday after a pair of adults from Farmington were shot yesterday afternoon, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. A juvenile was arrested on second-degree murder and attempted murder charges, investigators confirmed this morning.

Farmington Police were called to a home at just after noon on March 15, 2017, after a 911 call was made to police, according to Jason Casey, an assistant attorney general.

“Once there, they discovered two adults in the home with apparent gunshot wounds; an adult male who was deceased and an adult female who was injured,” he noted. “The female was taken to a hospital and treated for her wounds. She is expected to survive.”

Foster’s Daily Democrat reported last night that police were sent to Oakwood Road as part of the investigation.

The state’s medical examiner will perform an autopsy on the man to confirm his cause and matter of death, Danielle Hogan, another assistant attorney general stated.

“No other details will be available since the perpetrator is a juvenile,” she said.

The victim’s identities are also being withheld pending notification to the next of kin.

This is the second alleged murder incident in three months in the tiny 7,000 person community just north of Portsmouth on the eastern side of New Hampshire. Timothy Verrill of Dover was arrested in February for allegedly at a medical facility murdering Christine Sullivan and Jenna Pellegrini in Farmington in late January.
