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. 

The DA’s Office released that the victim’s name was Timothy O’Neil on Sunday afternoon.

The incident is currently under investigation by the Lynnfield Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to Tucker’s office, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. 

Authorities say there is not believed to be any wider threat to the public at this time.
