CONCORD — A Loudon man has been charged with the January murder of his half-brother following weeks of investigation.
Jesse James Sullivan, 31, faces two counts of second-degree murder for the death of 19-year-old Zackary Sullivan.
The charges allege Jesse Sullivan knowingly and recklessly caused his half-brother’s death on Jan. 16.
He was also charged with falsifying physical evidence for allegedly discarding the weapon used in the shooting.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office announced the arrest Monday evening but provided few details regarding the delay in formally charging Sullivan.
The incident took place near a residence close to the Soucook River and the Pembroke town line at about 7:15 p.m.
Following the shooting, Concord police and the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit conducted a search, apprehending Jesse Sullivan at approximately 2 a.m. on Jan. 17.
Prior to his arrest, police were called to an unrelated shooting at a home on Airport Road.
Jesse Sullivan has an extensive criminal history, including convictions for assault, illegal weapon possession, and involvement with the Brothers of White Warriors, a white supremacist group.
He is scheduled for arraignment at Concord District Court at 1 p.m. Tuesday.
