Local Men Charged in Connection with Stoneham Murder

 

Medford Police Officer Miguel Lopez, 53, of Stoneham, was indicted on charges in connection with lying to investigators during a homicide investigation. Lopez was indicted by a Middlesex Grand Jury on two counts of witness intimidation. As part of the investigation, State Police interviewed Lopez, who lived in Stoneham with the 28-year-old victim. Authorities say Lopez lied to police during the interview and that he allegedly removed evidence from the home to cover up a reported drug deal that is believed to have led to the double shooting.

According to DA Ryan’s office, Tate was convicted of the first degree murder of Puopolo on November 23. The jury also found Tate guilty of armed robbery, armed assault in a dwelling and illegal possession of a firearm. Judge Kathe Tuttman will sentence Tate on November 30.
