A homicide suspect who had ties to Pittsfield was shot by police in Vermont on Tuesday night.
Matthew Davis of Fitchburg was wanted for questioning in the killing of Harvard native Mary Anderson.
Police found Anderson's body in her pickup truck in Brattleboro.
Mary Anderson's mother, after a vigil Tuesday night in Harvard, told reporters the two had been dating, but had broken it off. She said that Davis was text messaging Mary to try to get back together.
Authorities encountered Davis near the crime scene before he was shot during a confrontation.
