MANCHESTER – The actions of Nashua resident Bryson Peluso allegedly caused the shooting death of Brandon Kluz at an Amherst residence on Thanksgiving morning.

A dispositional conference at which the lawyers in the case may discuss a “possible resolution” to the case is set for April 9 in Manchester’s Hillsborough County Superior Court-North.

Peluso, 28, last known address of 5 Sirelle Court in Nashua, is charged with second-degree murder in the Thanksgiving death of Kluz, 23, who sustained the fatal injury during a house party at 19 Baboosic Lake Road in Amherst.

Judge David A. Anderson is scheduled to preside at the hearing, the topic of which is listed in Peluso’s case summary as “scheduling conference or possible resolution.”

The hearing comes about three weeks after attorneys Jeff Odland and Brian Civale, both public defenders, withdrew as Peluso’s lawyers, and roughly a month after Portsmouth-based attorney Sven Wiberg signed on to represent Peluso.

Peluso’s four-page case summary features numerous motions by prosecutors to seal everything from the arrest warrant and affidavit to defense motions for services and a motion to amend the sealing orders themselves, all of which were granted by a succession of judges.

Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley, who is prosecuting the case with Assistant Attorney General Erin Fitzgerald, has revealed few details about the incident since he joined Amherst police and state troopers at the scene around dawn Thanksgiving morning.

An autopsy report issued by state Chief Medical Examiner Jennie Duval ruled that Kluz died from a gunshot wound to the chest, and the manner of death was a homicide.

That Peluso is charged with second-degree murder indicates prosecutors don’t believe he planned the murder, or went to the house with the intent of shooting anyone.

In addition to leaving Kluz’s family and wide circle of friends grieving their loss, and those close to Peluso in a state of shock, the incident ignited a firestorm across social media during the long holiday weekend.

Meanwhile, state and local police spent most of Thanksgiving at the residence, a large, three-bedroom home positioned at the end of a long driveway.
