On the morning of February 3, 2020, a shooting spree in Washington County, Maine, left three people dead and a fourth seriously injured. At about 10:47 a.m., deputies responding to a 911 call at a Kennebec Road residence in Machias found Shawn Currey dead inside and an injured woman outside. At 11:03 a.m., officers went to Roque Bluffs Road in Jonesboro and found 33-year-old Samuel Powers, who had been fatally shot. A third 911 call at 11:20 a.m. brought investigators back to another Kennebec Road location in Machias, where the third victim, Jennifer Bryant Flynn, was discovered dead.

Law enforcement received a tip that the suspect was at the American Legion on Court Street in Machias. Deputies from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office located and arrested 63-year-old Thomas Bonfanti of Northfield, who was charged with murder in connection with the three deaths. Authorities said Bonfanti knew the victims and believed he acted alone, and a weapon believed to have been used was recovered.

If anyone has information about Samuel Powers, his movements that morning, or knew him, please share what is known.
