Maine State Police investigators quickly set to work, piecing together the timeline and details of the attack. Initial evidence pointed to a suspect who had been evading authorities since September 21. After an extensive search, law enforcement in Connecticut identified 27-year-old Jawon Owens as the primary suspect. On November 13, Owens was apprehended in Hartford without resistance, and a loaded handgun was recovered from him at the time of his arrest. Authorities confirmed that Owens had been carrying the weapon during the incident.
Owens’ arrest came after nearly two months on the run, and he is now facing multiple charges, including murder and two counts of aggravated assault. The Maine State Police are working closely with Hartford law enforcement to finalize the extradition process. While Owens is in custody, the investigation remains ongoing, with authorities continuing to piece together the events leading to Roberts’ death and McGregor’s injuries.
The violence has left residents in Corinth in shock, as the quiet town is known for its tight-knit community, unaccustomed to such incidents. Neighbors described hearing gunshots and seeing emergency responders arriving in haste, attempting to save lives in the wake of the attack. Witnesses have expressed disbelief that such a tragedy could strike their peaceful neighborhood.
As investigators continue to reconstruct the events of that fateful morning, the Maine State Police are urging anyone with information about the shootings or Owens’ activities to come forward. The investigation into the motives behind the attack is still in progress, with detectives working tirelessly to understand the full scope of the crime.
The Corinth community continues to process the loss of Roberts and support McGregor as he fights for his life, with law enforcement emphasizing the importance of community cooperation to bring justice to those affected by this tragic event.
