A teenager in New Hampshire has been arrested in connection to the death of his older sister, who was fatally shot in the head.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice and the Thornton New Hampshire Police Department announced that Logan Anderson was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder in connection with his sister Leah Anderson‘s killing.
Authorities believe that Logan, 18, shot Leah, 21, and ultimately caused her death on the morning of Monday, June 8.
Leah was a student at Plymouth State University, where she was majoring in Elementary Education and Youth Development.

Prior to Logan’s arrest, authorities said that Leah was found “with serious bodily injury” after she was shot.
The New Hampshire Department of Justice then shared an update, in which they said the victim was found inside a residence in Thornton, New Hampshire, “suffering from a wound to her head” around 8:20 a.m. on June 8 after someone called 911 to report the shooting.
Police said that Leah was transported to a hospital, where she later died.
Logan was arrested on the same day of the murder and his arraignment was scheduled for Tuesday, June 9. However, he reportedly waived his arraignment and entered a not guilty plea, according to the Concord Monitor.
The defendant is currently being held in police custody without bail.
It’s not currently clear if authorities believe Logan had a motive for the shooting or how he was connected to the crime. The New Hampshire Department of Justice said that an investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
An autopsy on Leah’s body was scheduled to take place on June 9, though authorities have not yet publicly shared the results.

Following Leah’s death, Plymouth State University President Donald L. Birx issued a statement about the tragedy.
“Those who knew Leah speak of a young woman whose kindness touched those around her,” Birx said in a statement obtained by People. “Whether at Plymouth State or in the broader community, she was known for her caring nature, her warmth, and her ability to make others feel valued. More than one person shared that Leah could brighten someone’s day without even realizing it simply because kindness came so naturally to her. That generosity of spirit is how many will remember her.”
The statement concluded, “Our thoughts are with Leah’s family, loved ones, and friends during this difficult time. Her loss is deeply felt across the Plymouth State community.”
