Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker’s office said Thursday Edgar Morales will be arraigned for the fatal shooting of Domingo Rivera of Haverhill early Thursday morning, July 23, on Bay State Road in Lawrence.
The district attorney’s office said Massachusetts State Police detectives, obtained an arrest warrant Thursday for Morales. He is expected to be arraigned Friday, at 2 p.m., in Lawrence District Court. The circumstances behind the alleged murder were not immediately released.
