New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald and Manchester Police Chief Enoch F. Willard announce that charges have been filed in connection with a shooting incident that occurred on June 1, 2016 in Manchester, New Hampshire.

On June 1, 2016, Manchester police officers responded to the report of a shooting in the parking lot at the back of a building located at 135 Spruce Street in Manchester. When officers arrived, they discovered that Ashley Thompson (age 25) had been shot and suffered a non-life threatening leg wound. Nearby, the police found Hans R. Odige (age 35) of Manchester, deceased on the ground. An autopsy later confirmed that Mr. Odige died as a result of a single gunshot wound.

After an intensive investigation, the Manchester Police Department identified a suspect in the shooting. That suspect, John Gebo (age 31), has now been charged in the Hillsborough County Superior Court - Northern District, with Knowing Second-Degree Murder for causing the death of Hans Odige and First-Degree Assault for wounding Ashley Thompson.

Mr. Gebo has waived indictment on the Murder and First-Degree Assault charges and is expected to be at the Hillsborough County Superior Court - Northern District, on September 13, 2017 at 10:00 a.m., to resolve those charges. He is currently incarcerated on other criminal charges.
