Robert explained that Vehicle #2 was not off of the road, but was parked on the right shoulder, facing southbound on Main Street. Robert explained that he saw a male exit Vehicle #2 and approach Vehicle #1. Robert further explained that, he initially believed that the male he saw in the area of Vehicle #2 was a Good Samaritan who was checking on the operator of Vehicle #1, which was off of the road.
18. According to Robert, the male who was walking toward Vehicle #1 was carrying what appeared to be a “stick” in his hand. Robert explained that he was approximately twenty five (25) yards from the two vehicles when he made the above observations. Robert explained that he was driving slowly in the area, as he was “rubbernecking”. Robert explained that, as he continued to roll forward toward the vehicles, he saw the male approach Vehicle #1 and Robert heard a loud “bang”. Robert explained that he only heard one “bang”, which was immediately followed by a female screaming.
19. Robert explained that, due to the loud “bang” followed up by the screaming, he realized that the noise he heard was actually a gunshot. Robert believed the gunshot was from a shotgun or a high caliber firearm. Robert explained that he occasionally hunts and has a License to Carry a Firearm and is therefore familiar with the sound of gunshots.
20. Robert described the male he observed as thin, with medium or light skin tone, and average height (5’9”). Robert could not recall what the male was wearing for clothing.

Robert explained that Vehicle #2 then started to travel southbound on Main Street, and passed his stationary location. Robert stated that he decided to follow the vehicle, to see if he could identify it by Make/Model/License Plate.
22. Robert stated that he was able to make further observations of the vehicle and confirm that it was a silver sedan with an oval shaped insignia on the back (possibly a Ford). Robert stated that he was initially able to observe the first three (3) number/letters of the license plate, as the vehicle was traveling on Main Street. Robert stated that he was able to continue visual of the vehicle, although the vehicle began to travel at a high rate of speed and was passing vehicles on the wrong side of the road.
23. Robert continued to explain that, as Vehicle #2 approached the intersection of Furnace Street, Vehicle #2 went through the red light and turned right onto Furnace Street in a westerly direction. Robert stated that he continued to follow the vehicle and was eventually able to observe the License Plate in its entirety and identify the vehicle as Massachusetts Registration 4FSZ80. (Note: An inquiry into the CJIS Database revealed that the aforementioned registration (4FSZ80) came back to a gray 2013 Toyota Corolla, which was registered in the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to Sandra Warner, of 73 Bickmill Street, Quincy, MA.)
24. Robert stated that he stopped following Vehicle #2 after he was able to identify the entire license plate. Robert stated that the last location he saw Vehicle #2 was in the area of Forest Street.

During that time, McClarey was driving north bound on Main St. at School St. when she observed a male walking southbound on Old Main St. toward Route 3A.

McClarey described the white males demeanor as nervous, agitated, and looking around as McClarey’s vehicle passed his location. McClarey could not see the operator of the gray vehicle. As McClarey continued passed the gray vehicle, she observed the white male climb into the driver side of the vehicle and the car began to drive forward.

Trooper Finn utilized a photo array comprised by the State Police Fusion Center which included an image of Allen Warner DOB 10/22/1970.

The following is a summary of the facts obtained during the interview of Joseph Burton.
59. During the interview, Joseph stated that he has known Allen for about five (5) or six (6) years. Joseph explained that Allen has been staying with Joseph for the past year. Joseph stated that he last saw Allen on Monday, September 24, 2018, at approximately 1030 hours. Joseph explained that, during the early morning hours of Monday, Allen helped Joseph with yard work.

60. Joseph stated that, prior to Allen leaving, Allen told Joseph that he (Allen) had to run errands to run. According to Joseph, Allen also revealed that he might have to stop by and see his ex. Joseph explained that he was surprised by Allen going to see his ex, because Allen hadn’t talked about her in a long time.

61. Joseph stated that Allen sometimes leaves the house for an hour and sometimes Allen leaves for days. Joseph stated that Allen sometimes goes to the hospital because he thinks Allen has issues; Joseph specifically noted that Allen often thinks that he had bugs on him.
62. Joseph stated that Allen informed Joseph that Allen was in Marshfield on Friday/Saturday looking for scrap. Allen told Joseph that someone called the cops on him (Allen). Joseph explained that, based on his knowledge of Allen’s ex, and her family, he was aware that the location Allen was “looking for scrap” at was the same area that Allen’s ex’s father lives.
63. According to Joseph, over this past weekend (September 22 or 23), Allen was complaining about his ex to Joseph. Specifically, Joseph noted that Allen said that his ex was being a “douche bag”. Joseph also stated that Allen was frustrated during the morning hours of Monday, September 24, 2018, and stated “She is really getting me heated”. Joseph stated that the statement was made by Allen, prior to Allen leaving the house on Monday.
64. Based on Joseph’s knowledge of Allen Warner, Joseph believes that Allen likely fled to either New Hampshire or Virginia. Joseph explained that Allen’s sister (Marsha Dunstan) and her husband own a house in New Hampshire, which Allen likes to visit to “clear his head”. Joseph also explained that Allen’s older brother owns a house in Virginia and he could see Allen going there to hide.
65. On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at approximately 0538 hours I, Trooper McNamara viewed Marshfield Police Department’s log and noted that Allen Warner (DOB 10/22/1970) was called in as a suspicious person on Thursday, September 20, 2018 in the vicinity of 465 Forest Street Marshfield, Massachusetts. The caller reported a male possibly picking cans from trash but not sure. The caller stated they would like someone to check on him.
66. On Tuesday, September 25, 2018, at approximately 0821 hours, I spoke with Timothy Hughes, (DOB: 3/13/66) who told me that yesterday, (Monday, September 24th) at approximately 1745 hours, he was driving home from work. While traveling on north on Main Street and turned left onto Old Main Street Extension, he noticed a vehicle in the woods with a white male standing on the hood of the vehicle with a cellular telephone up to his ear. Hughes further described the male as 180-200 lbs with a beard and motion that the male’s hair was long in the back and flaired out by his shoulders, wearing a brownish flannel.
67. Based on all the information ascertained, and corroborated, during the investigation, it is my opinion, as well as, the opinion of other investigators assisting in this investigation, that there is probable cause to believe that Allen Warner (DOB: 10/22/1970) shot Shana Warner (DOB: 11/26/1969) with a firearm, stabbed and struck her with a vehicle, resulting in her death. This opinion is based on the above investigation and the following:
• Account of the events, prior to the victim being shot by a firearm, stabbed and struck with a vehicle: The victim was recorded on a 911 call, specifically, the victim frantically noting that she was very hurt and her ex-husband jumped into her vehicle.
• Witness interviews which revealed that a gray SUV intentionally struck the victim, in the area of Main Street and Old Main Street Extension. Witnesses then observed a white male exit the small SUV and flee from the immediate area on foot.
• Witness interview which revealed that a male was observed exiting a gray sedan and walking over to the gray SUV, now located off of the roadway into the wood line, with a “stick” like object in his hand. Moments later, the witness heard a single gunshot, followed up by screaming from a female, in the area of the gray SUV. The male was then observed running away from the gray SUV and went into to the driver’s seat of the gray sedan. The suspect vehicle (gray sedan) was then observed by a witness fleeing the scene southbound on Main Street, toward Furnace Street. The witness, continued following the suspect vehicle, and is able to identify the suspect vehicle as Massachusetts Registration 4FSZ80.
• The records of the Registry of Motor Vehicles revealed that the vehicle bearing Massachusetts Registration 4FSZ80 is a 2013, Toyota Corolla, color gray listed to Sandra Warner, of 73 Bicknell Street, Quincy. Sandra Warner was later identified as the mother of Allen Warner (DOB: 10/22/1970).
• Witness interviews revealed that Allen Warner is the primary operator of Massachusetts Registration 4FSZ80. Furthermore, Allen Warner was observed leaving 530 Union Street, in the town of Rockland, operating that vehicle on September 24, 2018.
• Witness interview revealed a male wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, which had a full zip in the front, with a white shirt under it, blue jeans, and a backwards baseball hat, believed to be beige or white. This is the description of the physical features of the Allen Warner confirmed by photograph on MA Driver’s License and known/documented physical stature. The description of the clothing of the suspect is consistent with the clothing description given by Allen Warner’s roommate who saw the Warner leave from 530 Union Street, Rockland on September 24, 2018 in that clothing.
• Allen Warner specifically noting, prior to leaving 530 Union Street, to his roommate that he (Allen) might have to stop by and see his ex (Shana) and that “she is really getting me heated.”
• Allen Warner’s previous encounter with Marshfield PD, on September 20, 2018, where Allen Warner was observed in the area of Forest Street and School Street wearing camouflage walking around, apparently collecting cans. This area is known by Allen Warner as the location/area which the victim’s father lives.
• Known/recent animosity between Allen Warner and Shana Warner, as Allen told a witness that Shana was being a “douche bag” and Shana was “really getting (him) heated.”
• Allen Warner’s own mother believes Allen probably killed Shana Warner and stated “I’m sure Allen did it. I’m sure he did it. She just drives him up the wall.”

On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at approximately 1000 hours, Trooper Jerome MacDonald, met Trooper Heather Sullivan assigned to the Crime Scene Services Section (CSSS) at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), 720 Albany Street Boston, Massachusetts. Trooper Sullivan and Trooper MacDonald were at the (OCME) to attend and witness the autopsy of Shana Warner, DOB: 11/26/1969, 1717 Ocean Street, Marshfield.
69. Doctor Andrew Elin conducted the autopsy at approximately 1000 hours on the same date. The victim and autopsy process were documented using digital photography by Trooper Sullivan (CSSS).

73. On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at approximately 1232 hours Officer Mark Poirier from the Whitman Police Department was dispatched to the Dunkin Donuts at 26 South Avenue Whitman, Massachusetts 02382 for a report of a past hit and run in their drive through parking lot. The witness stated the truck involved was a ramp style truck and they believe it was a T & K Asphalt Paving truck. Officer Poirier was brought to the Dunkin Donuts Office to view the video. While observing the video, Officer Poirier noted that truck looked like a black Peter Built ramp truck and stated it looked like the T & K on the driver’s side door. Officer Poirier observed the truck try to pull through the drive thru but was blocked by 3 large flower pots. The truck made several attempts but ended up destroying two of the flower pots then continued through the drive thru without making a purchase. Officer Poirier then responded to and spoke with the facilities manager Chris Duffy on the road in front of the building at 7 Industrial Way in the Town of Whitman. As the Officer was speaking with Mr. Duffy, Mr. Duffy stated no one should be in the truck but they could find out because the truck had GPS on them. Officer Poirier identified the truck as it approached them on Industrial Avenue. Officer Poirier got into his patrol car, activated his emergency light and attempted to stop the flat bed. As he approached the vehicle he noticed the vehicle begin to back up so Officer Poirier activated his siren and pulled to the right side of the truck. Officer Poirier yelled to the operator to stop the truck and immediately identified the operator to be Allen Warner from the earlier BOLO. The Officer immediately exited his vehicle and as the operator’s door opened, Officer Poirier asked “are you Al?” The operator replied with “yes.” Officer Poirier then handcuffed the operator and asked “are you Allen Warner?” The operator then replied “yes.” Officer Stokinger transported him back to the Whitman Police Department and then to the Marshfield Police Department, where he was booked, photographed and given the opportunity to use the phone. Allen was held pending court.
74. Based on the foregoing reliable information and upon my personal knowledge and belief, as well as the opinion of other investigators assisting in this investigation, I believe that there is probable cause to believe that Allen Warner (DOB: 10/22/1970), did shoot Shana Warner (DOB: 11/26/1969) with a firearm and stabbed her, causing her death. It is the opinion of this officer, as well as others involved in this investigation, that Allen Warner (DOB: 10/22/1970), of 530 Union Street Marshfield, Massachusetts, committed the crime of Murder, a violation of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 269, Section 1, with the victim of this crime being identified as Shana Warner (DOB: 03/10/1992). Further, that this crime occurred at the vicinity of Old Main Street Ext. and Main Street, in the Town of Marshfield, Massachusetts, on Monday, September 24, 2018.
