Michael Steven Parks, a 62-year-old Black man, was shot and killed on the evening of July 28, 2023, inside a residence on Marshall Street in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Police were called around 9:25 p.m.; officers found Mr. Parks with a gunshot wound and he was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The case was opened as a homicide investigation by the Fitchburg Police Department with Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.

Investigators identified two suspects, Thomas E. Martin, 45, of Fitchburg, and Christian Collins, 37, of Worcester. In early August both men were arraigned in Fitchburg District Court on charges including murder and home invasion and were held without bail. A Worcester County grand jury later returned indictments sending the case to Worcester Superior Court; charges listed include murder, home invasion, armed assault in a dwelling, assault with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm without an FID card, with Martin also indicted for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Does anyone have information about Michael Parks, his movements on July 28, or the Marshall Street residence that could help investigators?
