EVERETT – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Everett Chief of Police Steven Mazzie have confirmed that Brian Green, 35, of Saugus, has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of Jarmahl Sutson, 38, of Lynn, that occurred inside a Central Avenue residence on July 19, 2022.
At approximately 4:22 a.m., Everett Police responded to a Central Avenue apartment for a report of a medical emergency. Upon arrival police located the victim unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound.
The subsequent investigation revealed that Brian Green previously resided at the Central Avenue apartment and that he was reportedly upset about the victim’s relationship with his estranged wife who still lived in the apartment.
In the early morning of July 19, the defendant allegedly went to the apartment where the victim was staying and fatally shot him in the bedroom. Investigators were subsequently able to identify Brian Green as the alleged shooter following a review of surveillance video and other evidence.
Green was arrested today in Reading without incident. He is expected to be arraigned in Malden District Court tomorrow.
This investigation was conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the District Attorney’s Office, and Everett Police. The prosecutors assigned to this case are Suzanne Wiseman and Leigh Ann Johnson.
