Second man charged in connection to apparent Lowell homicide

A second man was arrested and charged in connection with an apparent homicide in Lowell, authorities say.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan sent out a release on Saturday, saying 24-year-old Dracut native Jeffrey Puryear was arrested on Saturday morning after the incident on July 26.

The charges come after 40-year-old Lowell native Saro Mann was killed in an apparent homicide on Walker Street, and preliminary investigations suggest the incident was a home invasion.

Cobb was arraigned in court on Friday, and is being held without bail until a dangerousness hearing on August 3.

Ryan said the investigation is ongoing, and additional charges may be issued.
