Man Charged In Manchester Shooting Incident

MANCHESTER, NH — On April 25, 2020 around 7:45 p.m., Manchester Police arrested 29 Luan Santos Embrey, 29, of Manchester and charged him in connection with an incident that took place on Elm Street that morning.

MPD spokesperson Heather Hamel said in a press release that around 9am police responded to 1415 Elm St. for a report of a gunshot. A witness told officers a car was seen driving south on Elm Street. The driver did a U-turn and shortly after another U-turn. At that point, someone dove out of the passenger’s side. The witness then reported hearing a gunshot.

Police were able to make contact with the person who had left the vehicle and found that he had not been injured. Through their investigation, police were able to identify Santos-Embrey as the driver. The two were known to each other and this was not random.

A warrant was issued for Santos-Embrey. Last evening, the Special Enforcement Division was able to locate and arrest him. Santos-Embrey was charged with Attempted First Degree Assault, Criminal Threatening, Reckless Conduct, Armed Career Criminal, and Possession of a Controlled Drug (Heroin/Fentanyl). Santos-Embrey was held pending an arraignment.
