LYNNFIELD — The investigation into an apparent homicide on Lookout Terrace on May 9 remains “active and ongoing,” according to Michael Keefe-Feldman of the Essex County District Attorney’s office. 

Lynnfield Police Chief Nick Secatore said, “We do not have any updates to release at this time. I can reaffirm what we have already released, that it’s an open investigation, and we don’t believe there is any danger to the public at large. We are investigating.”

In a May 11 joint release, Essex County District Attorney Paul F. Tucker and Secatore said their offices were investigating an “apparent homicide” of a Lookout Terrace resident in Lynnfield. Lynnfield Police responded to a 911 call at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Friday, May 9, and found Timothy O’Neil, 55, of Lynnfield, with apparent trauma. O’Neil was pronounced deceased on the scene. 

The release further stated that the Lynnfield Police Department, the Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to Tucker’s office, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner were investigating, and “there is not believed to be any wider threat to the public at this time.”
