On June 30, 2009, Derek Wayne Greene, 21, and his younger brother Gage, 19, were fatally shot on a downtown Biddeford street. The shootings occurred near the South Street home of 55-year-old Rory Holland after a confrontation that followed months of neighborhood tension. Six weeks earlier Derek had been charged with assaulting Holland and was ordered to have no contact with him.

Eyewitnesses later testified that Gage pushed Holland, who then pulled a handgun and shot Gage; when Derek ran toward his brother, Holland fired at him as well. Both brothers were taken to Southern Maine Medical Center and died of their injuries. Holland barricaded himself inside his home, prompting a five-hour standoff before surrender; he was charged with two counts of murder. The trial was moved from York County to Penobscot County and included testimony that the brothers were unarmed and that Holland had a prior conviction for attempted murder.

If anyone knew Derek or has information about the events that night, please share what is remembered or contact investigators.
