Update – Massena murder suspect allegedly stabbed his father to death

 

Massena murder: 66-year-old Robert W. Carr was found stabbed to death on Nov. 22 near the curb in front of 9 Tracy St. in Massena, above. His son allegedly killed him.

MASSENA – Court documents name the man who was murdered in Massena on Nov. 22 and reveal he was stabbed to death.

Massena Police that day announced the arrest of Robert I. Carr, 38, charging him with second-degree murder in connection with the death of a man who was found unresponsive next to the curb in front of 9 Tracy St.

Court documents say Carr is accused of killing his father, Robert W. Carr. He is accused of using a knife in the fatal assault on the elder. The younger Carr is also charged with tampering with evidence. Court documents say he allegedly tried to destroy blood evidence, but don't go into more detail.

Officials with the Massena court office said they can't release the younger Carr's criminal history. St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary M. Pasqua said the state Division of Criminal Justice Services bars officials from giving out a suspect's rap sheet.

"Also, we're not trying to prejudice a group of potential jurors," prior to convening a grand jury or trial jury, Pasqua said.

On Nov. 22, Massena police responded to 9 Tracy St. at 6:46 a.m. and found a man, who turned out to be the elder Carr, unresponsive. Chief Jason M. Olson initially said they were investigating a suspicious death and there was no threat to the public. Later that day, he said the death was being investigated as a homicide.

Much of Tracy Street was cordoned off with police tape that day. State police investigators and the St. Lawrence County Sheriff's Office were also at the scene.

After announcing the younger Carr's arrest, Chief Olson said the department would not release further details.
