MANCHESTER, NH — Four homicides of young men have happened in Manchester during the past 21 months and all remain open cases with no arrests.
On Sunday, the most recent homicide occurred when Siidi Dhurow, 22, of Manchester died of a fatal stab wound to the chest.
The incident occurred in the area of Lowell and Beech streets during the early morning hours of July 5. This incident occurred at the same time as another person suffered a stab wound and a shooting in the same area. The cases, according to officials, do not appear to be connected.

On July 2, 2019, Brian "Boogie" Clark, 19, was shot on South Willow Street and brought to Elliot's Rivers Edge where he died at the entrance. He was shot in the chest. Clark's death was also ruled a homicide.
On Nov. 12, 2018, Dillon Schultz, 24, died of a gunshot wound at an apartment building on Notre Dame Avenue on Manchester's West Side. Schultz's death was also ruled a homicide.
The four homicides are all actively being investigated by Manchester police detectives and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.
In some of the open cases, officials believe the "anti-snitch" standard, practiced by many young people today, makes the investigation more difficult.
Clark's mother, Maria Miranda, has repeatedly said in multiple media and social media reports that there are people who know who killed her son. When the homicide happened, she pleaded for people to not take retaliation and "street justice."
On Monday, the day after the homicide of Dhurow, a small memorial with balloons was placed on Beech Street at the scene of the incident. An evidence marker was still on the ground with several firecrackers which had been lit off.
A growing memorial was also on the sidewalk in front of Dhurow's home which is one block from where Innarelli was killed. It is also the location of a recent drive-by shooting incident in the alley behind their family residence.
Nearly 50 people gathered outside the Dhurow’s residence Monday speaking to the family, hugging and sharing condolences.
Manchester police have officers assigned to a city gang prevention (GPU) unit who work closely with the younger people in Manchester. They regularly visit area basketball courts and join the youth and try to divert youth from joining local gangs.
Manchester Police Chief Carlo Capano acknowledged in prior discussions that Manchester has gangs but the young people who are members of local gangs are not well known national gangs. Three known gangs are:
- OTL: Which stands for "Orange to Laurel," a geographic area in Manchester;
- 180: For a frequent gathering spot at 180 Main St.;
- RCG: For the "Red Couch Gang."
Capano stated some of these gangs get along — but some do not.
Manchester police continue to use all tools available to prevent violent incidents and to investigate incidents that do occur.
Investigators ask that anyone with information should call Manchester police at 603-668-8711. Tips can also be submitted anonymously at 603-624-4040.
