LYNN — A Manchester, NH man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a pizza delivery man on Monday.
Brian Brito, 21, will be arraigned on one count of first degree murder in Lynn District Court tomorrow.
“This was a brazen, senseless act that not only took the life of a hard-working young man, but also frightened community members,” District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said in a statement. “I am grateful to the many law enforcement officers who worked so diligently to obtain this warrant so that we may begin the process of securing justice on behalf of Mr. Zangiband and his family.”
Brito is currently held without bail in Middleton House of Corrections following his arraignment in Peabody District Court yesterday on a firearms charge. North Andover Police have charged him with aggravated rape, armed robbery while masked and kidnapping. He is expected to be arraigned on those charges on Monday, April 3 in Lawrence District Court.
Sina Zangiband, 24, of Salem, was delivering food for Atha’s, when he was shot multiple times on Bowler Street, near St. Pius V. School, a Catholic elementary school. Zangiband was found dead in his vehicle, according to the Essex County District Attorney’s office.
