Three weeks after Jarmahl Sutson was fatally shot in a Central Avenue apartment in Everett, a suspect is in custody.
Brian Green, 35, of Saugus, was arrested in Reading on Aug. 10 without incident, according to a statement from the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.
Police allege Green went to the apartment where the 38-year-old Lynn man was staying on July 19 and fatally shot him in the bedroom.
Green used to live in the apartment with his now estranged wife and was reportedly angry about Sutson’s relationship with her. She still lived in the apartment at the time of the shooting, according to the DA’s office.
Investigators reviewed surveillance video and other evidence to identify Green as the alleged shooter.
Everett police arrived to the scene at 4:22 a.m. on July 19 following a report of a medical emergency and discovered an unresponsive Sutson with an apparent gunshot wound.
Green is expected to be arraigned in Malden District Court on Thursday.
