LYNNFIELD — Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker and Lynnfield Police Chief Nick Secatore confirm that their offices are investigating an apparent homicide at Lookout Terrace in Lynnfield. 

On Friday night at approximately 8:30 p.m., Lynnfield Police responded to a 911 call and found a 55-year-old man with apparent trauma. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.
