The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
The victim of a Thursday shooting in Methuen has been identified by authorities as a 22-year-old resident of the city.
The Essex County District Attorney’s Office said Methuen police responded to a report of a shooting in the area of Kimball Road around 5:24 a.m. on Thursday and upon arrival they found Ewdy Lopez, a resident of the street, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
The 22-year-old was transported to Lawrence General Hospital where he died of his injuries.
“Investigators believe this is not a random act of violence and that there is no ongoing threat to public safety,” the DA’s office said in a statement on Thursday.
