If you read the paper I'm sure you heard a 33-year-old Lowell man was found dead in the bushes near VFW Highway and Aiken Street Friday morning, just a few hours after a 24-year-old got shot during an incident a block away at Aiken and Lakeview Ave.

Are they connected? Still waiting for word.

I heard police had no word or evidence of a second victim when they went to the call at 1:30 a.m., and found that Vichit Suon, 22, of Lowell, had been shot. He's expected to be alright.

Friday morning at 7:30, though, police found Anthony Oliveira, 33, dead a block away. The medical examiner says it was homicide.

Eduardo Pena, 24, of Lowell, got picked up late Friday night for armed assault with intent to murder since police think he's the one who shot Suon, and on Saturday Jose Martinez, 24, of Lowell, got picked up for accessory after the fact of armed assault with intent to murder.

Interestingly, Martinez also had a gun on him, and is charged with illegal possession of a firearm, but no one is saying whether that gun had been used.

Police and the DA say they're still investigating whether the shooting and homicide are connected. No bail on either shooting suspect.
