Man and woman found shot to death inside Haverhill home, DA says

HAVERHILL, Mass. — An investigation is underway after two people were found shot to death inside a Haverhill home on Sunday night, authorities said.

Authorities found the deceased man and woman inside a home on Broadway after responding to a well-being call just before 5:45 p.m., according to Essex District Attorney Paul Tucker and the Haverhill Police Department.

The names of the two victims haven’t been released and the DA’s office said there was no risk to the public.

The discovery of the bodies led to a large law enforcement presence, blocking off the road with crime scene and caution tape for hours as investigators focused on the home.

A Boston 25 News crew was at the scene when a vehicle with the Medical Examiner’s Office arrived on the 190 block of the road shortly after 8:00 p.m. Several other police cars already lined the street.

Online records indicate this is a three-unit multi-family home.

“There was a couple standing there hugging each other and then a priest came over and hugged them,” neighborhood resident Bruce Randall recalled. “The police put that yellow tape around and a couple of other people came and hugged the couple...I don’t know what happened but it doesn’t look good.”

State police detectives assigned to the DA’s office are assisting Haverhill police with the investigation.

The DA’s office says no further information will be released until Monday.
