On January 16, 2021, Terrence L Wigglesworth, a 28-year-old Black man, was found inside a fourth-floor apartment at the Firehouse Block Apartments on Warren Street in Concord with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Police arrived about 11:46 a.m.; despite emergency medical treatment he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified 33-year-old Tyler Cochran as the resident who fired the shot. According to the investigation, Wigglesworth had been given a ride earlier that morning and had been denied entry to Cochran’s apartment; he later returned, forcibly entered, and a physical altercation occurred. Cochran told officers he shot Wigglesworth in self-defense and met responding officers outside the building.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office and the Concord Police Department reviewed witness statements and surveillance footage. After more than a year, the Attorney General’s Office concluded Cochran was justified in using deadly force and did not file charges. The medical examiner ruled the manner of death homicide.

If anyone saw what happened at the Firehouse Block Apartments that morning or has relevant information, please share it with investigators.
