MANCHESTER — New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald and Manchester Police Chief Carlo Capano announce that Paul Dimick, 26, has been arrested and charged with reckless second-degree murder for causing the death of Justin Lee, 32, under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to the value of human life.

Dimick was also arrested on one count of being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon.

Manchester police discovered Lee suffering from a gunshot wound in the area of Hanover and Lincoln streets just before 11 a.m. on Friday. Lee was transported to Elliott Hospital where he later died. An autopsy determined Lee died of a single gunshot wound to the chest, with the manner of death being homicide.

Manchester police received a tip that Dimick was in the area of East High and Malvern streets. Dimick was seen exiting a house on East High Street and was taken into custody without incident on Wednesday.

Dimick is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges in the Hillsborough County Superior Court- North at 1:30 p.m. today.

The investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Michael Lavallee at 603-792-5514 or MLavallee@manchesternh.gov.

The charges and allegations are merely accusations, and Dimick is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
