Documents: 2 found dead at hotel had criminal records

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Court documents show a man and a woman found dead in a New Hampshire hotel room following a 15-hour standoff had criminal records and warrants were out for their arrests on drug charges.

The attorney general’s office identified 27-year-old Christian St. Cyr and 21-year-old Brandie Tarantino as the two people found dead Thursday in a room at the Quality Inn in Manchester. Autopsies were scheduled.

The standoff began Wednesday evening after authorities attempted to serve a warrant on 51-year-old Stephen Marshall, of Manchester, and a man they didn’t identify.

Marshall, who had a gun, was killed in an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officers outside the hotel. An autopsy showed he was killed by multiple gunshot wounds.
