A 22-year-old from Manchester has been arrested after a man was shot to death Saturday near the Mall of New Hampshire, officials announced.
Tyrese Harris is facing two counts of second-degree murder in connection to the shooting death of Dzemal Cardakovic, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.
Manchester police responded to the area of South Willow and Kaye streets around 3:24 p.m. Saturday after multiple people reported a person had been shot in the roadway. Officers found 45-year-old Cardakovic unresponsive, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, the attorney general said, and he was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Very few details were initially released Saturday, with the attorney general's office only confirming it was investigating a suspicious death, while Manchester police had asked people to avoid the area.

Video from the scene showed Saturday multiple police cars by the traffic lights near the front entrance to the mall, in addition to a fire truck and an ambulance. Yellow police tape could also be seen stretching across both sides of the busy roadway, and there was a semi truck parked in the middle of the scene. Authorities did not say if or how the vehicle was involved.
Authorities have not revealed a possible motive in the fatal shooting or said what led them to arrest Harris. No other details were released Sunday.
