LYNN — Derell D. Guy, 34, the suspect in a January homicide on Howard Street, has been added to Massachusetts State Police “Most Wanted List,” according to a department spokesman.
Guy is suspected of being involved with a fatal shooting that occurred during the early morning hours of Jan. 4, 2020 on Howard Street, state police spokesman David Procopio said.
Lynn Police had responded to the area on a report of shots fired and took the gunshot victim, Bryan Omar Mendez, 25, to Salem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, Procopio said.
A subsequent investigation from Lynn and State Police detectives resulted in the issuance of an arrest warrant from Lynn District Court, which charged Guy with murder and armed robbery, Procopio said.
Police have been unable to locate Guy, who has been actively attempting to evade capture and should be considered armed and dangerous, Procopio said.
“Guy has an extensive criminal history in Massachusetts, including previous convictions for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery. He is the subject of two other unrelated arrest warrants in Massachusetts for assault, vandalism, breaking and entering in the nighttime, and larceny charges,” Procopio said.
Guy is described as a Black man, approximately 6 feet 1 inch tall with black hair and brown eyes. He has freckles on his face and goes by the name “Freckles.” He has multiple tattoos on his body, including a demon head flanked by two skulls on his right shoulder and his initials, “DG,” on his forearm.
Anyone who sees Guy who has knowledge of his whereabouts is urged to call the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section at 1-800-KAPTURE (1-800-527-8873) or dial 911.
