Apparent Murder-Suicide Under Investigation in Marlborough

MARLBOROUGH – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Marlborough Chief of Police David Giorgi have confirmed the ongoing investigation into an apparent murder-suicide that occurred this morning in Marlborough.

Today, at approximately 10:05 a.m. Marlborough police received a call for a shooting at a Rice Street residence.  Upon arrival police located two females and a child outside who reported that there had been an apparent shooting of their female roommate inside the home.  Once inside, police located a 28-year-old female resident of the home and a 29-year-old male, dead from apparent gunshot wounds.

The preliminary investigation suggests that the two decedents had been in a dating relationship. Last night the male had allegedly threatened the female at his home. The female party returned to her Rice Street home this morning.  Shortly before 10:05 a.m. the male came to the female’s home, forcing entry  through a window.  Once inside the male again threatened the female before shooting her and then himself. 

This is an open and ongoing investigation being conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the District Attorney’s Office and Marlborough Police.
