Eric Michael Christensen, 50, of Hyannis, Massachusetts, was found unresponsive on the kitchen floor of a home at 91 Oakview Terrace on December 8, 2021, after a 911 call came in at about 6:00 p.m. He suffered an apparent gunshot wound to the head and was taken to Cape Cod Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The investigation led to the arrest of Justin Peckham, 29, of Boston. Peckham was arraigned in Barnstable District Court and charged with Murder and Assault and Battery by Means of the Discharge of a Firearm; he was held without bail and a probable cause hearing was set for January 28, 2022. Detectives from the Barnstable Police Department and Massachusetts State Police assigned to the District Attorney’s Office continue to investigate.

Christensen had worked for many years as a hardwood floor finisher and installer and attended Cape Cod Technical Regional High School in Harwich. If anyone has information about Christensen, his movements on December 8, 2021, or the events at 91 Oakview Terrace, please come forward.
