Apparent Sharon homicide under investigation

Sharon Police and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office are investigating an apparent homicide discovered yesterday, Nov. 2, according to Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey and Sharon Police Chief Stephen M. Coffey.

A relative discovered Brad Larson, age 62, in his home with obvious injury and contacted authorities. Sharon Police and Sharon Fire personnel responded to the 78 Deerfield Road address, where Larson was pronounced deceased on scene.

“There will be obvious police activity in the area around that home through much of the day today,” Chief Coffey said Friday morning. “Neighbors should be assured that, given what we know at this time, there is no ongoing threat to the neighborhood, or the town related to this incident.”

District Attorney Morrissey said that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner had removed Mr. Larson to their office for autopsy, possibly as early as today, Nov. 3. 

“Investigators from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Scene Services Section responded last night to process the home for potential physical evidence,” District Attorney Morrissey said. “There have been no arrests in this apparent homicide, and the investigation remains active today.”
