HAVERHILL, Mass. (AP) — Authorities have made an arrest in connection with a fatal shooting in Haverhill during a snowstorm.
Sean LaRose, 34, was arraigned Friday on charges including murder.
LaRose pleaded not guilty, telling a judge that he “would rather not talk” because “people just don’t know anything about anything.”
LaRose is charged with killing 34-year-old Joseph Smith at about 4:45 p.m. Thursday. Smith was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at an apartment building on Portland Street.
Prosecutors said witnesses saw LaRose with a revolver in his hand that was later recovered by police.
Authorities said LaRose fled the scene in a stolen vehicle and was tracked down in Amesbury on Thursday night.
“He does adamantly deny the allegations,” LaRose’s attorney said.
No motive for the shooting was immediately disclosed.
LaRose was ordered held without bail. He is due back in court next month.
