HYANNIS – [DEVLOPING] – Details have not yet been officially released, but various sources indicate that multiple Barnstable Police squad cars rushed to 418 Pitchers Way for reports of possible shots fired inside the residence. The call came in shortly before 9:30 p.m. last evening.

A Hyannis FD Rescue ambulance responded to stage near the intersection of West Main Street and Pitchers Way, about two to three blocks away from the alleged crime scene. There have been no official reports of injuries…

Just over 7 weeks ago – December 9, 2021 – a joint operation by state, federal, and local law enforcement agencies led to the capture of a fugitive at the same address. The fugitive was wanted for a double homicide in Illinois.

According to a Massachusetts State Police media statement, “CARL CURRY, 33, was arrested around 9:30 a.m. [December 9, 2021] after he came out of a house at 418 Pitchers Way in Hyannis.

Troopers assigned to the Massachusetts State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, US Marshals from the Boston Office, members of a US Marshals task force, and Barnstable Police Officers converged on that address this morning after the US Marshals Great Lakes Regional Federal Task Force developed information that indicated CURRY was likely hiding out there with relatives.

Once at the residence, the team made contact with the homeowner, who denied them entry to the house. Troopers, Marshals and Officers set up a perimeter outside the home and maintained contact with the homeowner. After about an hour, CURRY emerged from the home and was taken into custody.

CURRY is wanted on a warrant out of Riverside, Illinois for two counts of murder stemming from the Nov. 13, 2021 shooting deaths of a 31-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man inside a residence in Riverside, Illinois. The ensuing investigation by Riverside Police identified CURRY as the shooter and the murder warrant issued on Nov. 19.

The USMS Great Lakes Regional Federal Task Force began assisting in tracking CURRY, leading to information that he was likely in Hyannis. The US Marshals Boston Office and MSP VFAS then began assisting on the case.

Following his arrest, CURRY was transported to the Barnstable Police Station, where he was booked as a fugitive from justice. In addition to the murders, CURRY faces a charge of violating his parole from a prior conviction.

Prosecutors will work to have CURRY rendited to Illinois to face the murder and parole violation charges…”

Earlier this morning at around 3:00 a.m., Barnstable Police Detectives armed with a search warrant prepared to enter 418 Pitchers Way looking for evidence. They were assisted by members of the patrol division, along with a member of the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Crime Scene Unit. They searched the residence for over an hour. A BPD Detective Sergeant told HN that he was working on releasing a media statement, possibly later this morning… [DEVELOPING]
