A yearlong manhunt for the suspect in an attempted murder at a Canterbury campground ended on Friday with the capture of a Merrimack County man in Lawrence, Mass.

David A. Makin, 51, of Manchester, who has dodged authorities since being indicted in January 2023, was apprehended after the Mann Street residence where he was living was surrounded by the Marshals Service entry team.

According to Canterbury Police records, Makin was involved in an altercation on Aug. 19, 2022, at a Canterbury campground and was initially arrested for domestic violence. However, a January 19, 2023, indictment outlines how Makin allegedly attacked and harmed multiple people in the dispute, brutally assaulting one in the head with a guitar and rock, safety officials say.

As a result, Makin was charged with attempted murder, as well as six other charges ranging from reckless conduct to first degree assault.

Makin has been charged as a "Fugitive from Justice" in Lawrence District Court, where an earlier hearing resulted in his detention without bond. Makin will be detained at the Middleton House of Corrections while awaiting extradition by the Merrimack County Sheriff's Office.
