Westbrook Double Homicide Suspect's History of Violent Threats Revealed
TL;DR Summary
Marcel Lagrange, a 24-year-old man with a history of mental health crises and violent threats, shot and killed a couple in a parking lot in Westbrook, Maine, just hours after making online threats to a former friend who had ended their brief friendship. Lagrange had access to support groups and a case worker, but his supporters struggled to get through to him, especially after extended time in isolation exacerbated his antisocial tendencies. The seemingly random act of violence has raised questions about whether Lagrange was getting the support he needed and enough oversight to keep the community safe.
