Authorities said police found Christensen on the kitchen floor, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. Emergency officials rushed Christensen to Cape Cod Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Christensen was a radio personality with Cape Cod's iHeartRadio affiliate, working with a handful of radio stations such as PIXY 103 and FRANK FM, going under the name Eric "The Prozac" Christensen.

He worked in the promotions department as part of a field team that put up promotions off-site, according to the Cape Cod Times.

According to court documents, police were able to identify Peckham as a suspect in the shooting death thanks to cellphone location and data records.

Police have not disclosed a possible motive.
