Manhunt In Litchfield, Merrimack Connected To Concord Homeless Camp Fatal Shooting Case

MERRIMACK, NH — Law enforcement agencies spent several hours searching Litchfield and Merrimack for a possible suspect involved in a shooting in Concord last week.

The suspect was captured just after 3 p.m.

According to scanner chatter, officers in both communities, as well as the New Hampshire State Police helicopter and K-9 unit, searched the area of the Daniel Webster Highway for the unnamed suspect, who is a person of interest in the killing of Jillian Collins, 37, at a homeless camp in Concord near the Soucook River on property owned by the Pembroke Water Works.

A little past 2 p.m., troopers in the air switched to the Merrimack police scanner channel. A be-on-the-lookout (BOLO) alert from Litchfield police asked officers to look for a man with gray hair and a blue sweatshirt walking with a limp in the area of Temple Drive and Pine Avenue.

As police searched both sides of the river, they later began concentrating on the area between the Gilbert Crossing apartment complex and Genrose Stone and Tile, between Route 3 and the Everett Turnpike. The suspect was captured near Genrose, according to scanner chatter.

EMTs were requested to check the suspect, while other officers continued searching the area for items that may be connected to the case.
