Two Charged in Shooting Out Car Windows Across Nashua

Nashua police have arrested two men on charges they shot out the car windows of more than 40 parked vehicles last weekend.

Police identified the Nashua men as Elijah Williams, 18, of 4 Holman St., and Brandon Houle, 18, of 188 Concord St., Apartment 3. They are charged with criminal mischief, a class B felony.

The Nashua Police Department received 47 reports of vehicles damaged as a result of being struck with a BB gun pellet. 

Police say the parked vehicles damaged were from across Nashua and the estimated value of the damage is in the thousands of dollars.

Williams and Houle were developed as suspects based on information received from School Resource Officers, according to Nashua Police. That information was conveyed to detectives who worked with uniform patrol officers to search for those potentially involved.

A patrol officer later observed a vehicle on June 10, at about 11:30 p.m., which matched the description of the vehicle and the drivers wanted by police for questioning. Police then stopped the green Honda Civic and the investigation led to arrest warrants.

Williams and Houle were taken into custody without incident June 11.

Houle was released on $5,000 cash/surety bail and will be arraigned July 11. Williams was bailed on $5,000 personal recognizance and he is scheduled to appear in court on July 10.
