A fatal shooting occurred on Town Farm Road in Barre, Massachusetts, on the morning of September 4, 2020. Officers responding at about 8:30 a.m. found 65-year-old Michael J. Hannon, a Caucasian male, dead on the ground near his Toyota Prius by the garage with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A 911 call came from Robert Leger, Hannon’s 71-year-old tenant who lived in a small house on the same property; Leger admitted to killing Hannon and was taken into custody at the scene. Leger was arraigned the same day on murder and carrying a firearm without a license. A Worcester County grand jury later returned an indictment that added murder and several firearm-related counts, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number and failure to secure a firearm, and the matter was transferred to Worcester Superior Court.

What details about Hannon or the property might help explain why this was not random, and can anyone who knew them or witnessed activity on Town Farm Road that morning help investigators?
