Erin Fitzgibbon, a 30-year-old woman from Everett, Massachusetts, was killed during a violent home invasion at a Fairmont Street residence in Malden on the morning of July 6, 2021. Fitzgibbon had been staying overnight as a guest and was found in an upstairs bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head; she was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced dead. The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said Fitzgibbon had no connection to the suspect or the events that led to the robbery and was tragically in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Authorities identified 30-year-old Brian Butler as the alleged shooter and began a manhunt after he fled carrying a handgun and property taken from the bedroom. Investigators said Butler also removed a safe containing heroin and pills. A second man, 24-year-old Cody DiGaetano of Chelsea, was identified as the alleged getaway driver in a green Honda. Both men were arrested on July 7, 2021; Butler was charged with murder and multiple firearm and assault offenses and held without bail, while DiGaetano faced accessory after-the-fact charges and was released on personal recognizance at arraignment that month.

Does anyone have information about Erin, the home on Fairmont Street, or the events that morning?
