On the afternoon of Friday, January 10, 2014, 52-year-old Lloyd Worster was shot and killed inside the security office of the Albion rooming house on Main Street in Worcester, where he worked as the custodian. An argument with a 53-year-old security guard, Howard Penn, escalated; Penn, who was not licensed to carry a firearm, produced a gun and shot Worster in the back. Worster was transported to St. Vincent’s Hospital but was pronounced dead at approximately 6:26 p.m. that evening.

Worcester Police, including the Detective Bureau and SWAT members, searched the building and arrested Penn inside the rooming house without incident. He was charged in connection with Worster’s death and faced a first-degree murder charge; the defense said Penn acted in self-defense, alleging Worster threatened to kill him. The verdict and sentencing phase that followed remain a focal point for Worster’s family.
