Man wanted in Vermont homicide arrested in Maine.
A man wanted in connection with a homicide in Vermont has been arrested in Maine.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Zaquikon Roy, 35, of Brooklyn, New York, was arrested in Lewiston, Maine, for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Federal court documents obtained by WCAX News list Roy as a suspect in a homicide investigation in Leicester, Vermont. The feds say Roy met with Larry Lanpher Jr. and Scott Lanpher in Middlebury on June 4 to buy drugs. The complaint alleges that after weighing the drugs, the amount was less than they expected to receive.
Later that night, the Lanphers arrived at a home on Route 7 in Leicester where there was an argument. Witnesses told police Roy was responsible for shooting the two men, killing Scott Lanpher.
