Francisco-Perez faces charges of accessory after the fact to murder and armed robbery in the shooting early Sunday morning, officials said.

A 17-year-old wanted on a murder charge had turned himself in on Tuesday in the investigation into the shooting on Haverhill Street around 2 a.m. Sunday that left 31-year-old Carlos Bello of Methuen dead.

Police responded found Bello injured, and he died after being taken to Lawrence General Hospital, authorities have said.

It wasn't immediately clear if Francisco-Perez had an attorney who could speak to his arrest. Authorities said they were working to bring him back to Massachusetts to face the charges against him.
