Juvenile arrested in shooting death of Northfield mom, sons

CONCORD - A minor has been arrested in the triple homicide that occurred in Northfield earlier this month.

The juvenile was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of falsifying physical evidence under juvenile laws, according to a statement released from the Attorney Generals Office on Thursday.

Killed on Aug. 3 were Kassandra Sweeney, 25, and her two sons Benjamin Sweeney, 4, and Mason Sweeney, 1.

Lawmen got involved around 11:33 a.m. when they responded to a 911 call for service at 56 Wethersfield Drive.

Upon arrival officers located three deceased individuals inside the residence.

Autopsies later determined that the three all died of single gunshot wounds and the manner of death was homicide.

Since the alleged perpetrator is a juvenile, the law precludes any further information from being released, a statement from the Attorney Generals Office noted.

The age. sex, hometown and any connection to the Sweeney family the arrested minor may have had were not released.
