A 21-year-old Lawrence man is expected to be arraigned today for the alleged, early Saturday murder of an unnamed woman.
According to Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker’s office, Tyler Halley was charged with murder and will be arraigned in Lawrence District Court.
The district attorney’s office said Lawrence Police received a 911 call Saturday, May 23, at about 3:18 a.m., and were dispatched to an apartment at 240 Canal St. They found a woman suffering from a severe head wound. The “unresponsive” woman was taken to Merrimack Health Lawrence Hospital and, shortly after arriving, was pronounced dead.
An investigation is being conducted by Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Essex County District Attorney’s office, Lawrence Police Department and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
