On the evening of April 6, 2015, gunfire on Main Street in Gorham, New Hampshire, left 27-year-old Michael Welch dead. Police found Welch, a White man, on a sidewalk in front of Gorham Common Park at about 6:40 p.m., suffering multiple gunshot wounds. The shots were heard inside the nearby police station, prompting officers to run to the scene.

A man seen leaving the area was identified as 25-year-old Christopher Drouin of Gorham and was taken into custody. Investigators determined another man who had been with Welch, 30-year-old John Gillespie, was also fired upon. The New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit and the Gorham Police Department charged Drouin with second-degree murder in Welch’s death and with attempted murder for shooting at Gillespie. The matter moved forward to arraignment and further court proceedings.

Did anyone in Gorham at the time see or hear anything that could shed light on that evening?
