BANGOR, Maine — Police on Monday identified the man who died early Friday in a shooting on Center Street as Robert Mark Kennedy, 38, of Bangor.
Investigators have not identified the second victim, a male, who is being treated at Eastern Maine Medical Center, according to Sgt. Tim Cotton, spokesman for the Bangor police.
An autopsy of Kennedy’s body was completed Sunday, but the medical examiner’s office declined to release any information Monday about what it found.
“I can’t release any information at this time, the investigation remains active,” said Mark Belserene, spokesman for the office of the chief medical examiner. “The autopsy is completed and I will continue to check to see when I can release the cause.”
Two New York men charged in connection with the shootings have extensive criminal histories in New York, according to court records in that state.
Robert Hansley, 27, and Thomas Ferguson, 37, both of Brooklyn, New York, were arrested Friday night on charges of murder and elevated aggravated assault. Police took them into custody about 7 p.m. outside a Hammond Street apartment near Webster Avenue.
They are being held at the Penobscot County Jail.
The men are scheduled to make their first appearances at 8 a.m. Tuesday before Superior Court Justice William Anderson at the Penobscot Judicial Center.
They will be held without bail at the Penobscot County Jail until their attorneys request hearings on whether there are conditions under which they could be released.
Ferguson has been convicted of attempted murder, robbery and lesser charges since 1995, according to a criminal history record search obtained from the New York State Unified Court System.
He pleaded guilty to attempted murder in December 1995 and was sentenced the following month to a prison term of four to 12 years. Ferguson also pleaded guilty to robbery and was sentenced to 6½ to 13 years in prison. In 1999, Ferguson was sentenced to 1½ to three years after pleading guilty to promoting prison contraband. Records did not indicate when he was released from prison.
Since 2011, Hansley has been convicted of drug and sex charges. He pleaded guilty in 2011 and 2012 in separate cases to criminal possession of marijuana. In each case he was sentenced to time served. In February 2014, Hansley pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and was sentenced the following May to one year in prison
Investigators have not released information about what may have led to the shootings.
Police originally went to 201 Center St. at 3:30 a.m., and were there throughout the day Friday. The evidence response team’s truck was outside the apartment Monday morning, but was gone by the afternoon.
Police appeared to have cleared the scene and taken down the crime scene tape.
The building consists of a pair of front-facing, two-story apartments facing the street, with several other apartments in an addition on the back. Knocks on the doors of those apartments over the weekend and Monday went unanswered.
City records show the duplex is owned by Jimmy Phan, who owns several rental and business properties across the city. He purchased the building in 2002 from a Scarborough firm. Multiple attempts to reach Phan were unsuccessful.
