1 Killed In Cape Cod Shooting

BARNSTABLE, MA — A 41-year-old man is dead after a shooting in a parking lot in Hyannis, local police said. Another Cape Cod man faces a murder charge.

On Sunday around 1 a.m., officers from the Barnstable Police Department were dispatched to the North Street parking lot near Washington Street in Hyannis for a report of a gunshot. The first police officer arrived on scene and located the man who had a gunshot wound to the head, police said.

The officer immediately began life-saving measures, and the man, a Hyannis resident, was taken to Cape Cod Hospital. He was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses on the scene informed officers that a dark-colored pick-up truck had left the area after the shooting and a Barnstable Officer located the vehicle and its operator a short distance away from the North Street crime scene, police said.

After a preliminary investigation, the suspect, a 36-year-old Yarmouth resident, was taken into custody. Massachusetts State Police Detectives also responded to investigate and the male suspect was eventually charged with murder and booked at the Barnstable Police Station, where he is currently being held without bail.
