Ellis J. Wright, a 48-year-old Black man from Lynn, Massachusetts, was found shot to death in the early morning of June 19, 2019. A jogger discovered his body around 5:50 a.m. in a vacant lot adjacent to Manchester Street Park in Lawrence, and a gun was located near him. Investigators followed a trail of blood through the neighborhood and concluded the fatal shooting likely occurred the day before his body was found.

The Essex County District Attorney’s Office opened a homicide investigation that quickly produced a suspect. On Thursday, June 20, 2019, 22-year-old Niko Bianco of Amesbury was arrested in Manchester, New Hampshire, by state troopers and Lawrence police detectives and charged with Wright’s murder. He was scheduled for arraignment in New Hampshire as a fugitive from justice before extradition to Massachusetts to face the charge in Lawrence District Court.

Are there details about Ellis Wright’s movements or anyone who saw him in the neighborhood the day before he was found that could help clarify what happened?
