Update January 15th, 2026: The Hyannis man, accused of fatally shooting another man in Hyannis on March 16th has been granted bail pending his trial. The case was moved to Plymouth Superior Court because the victim Tony Johnson had a long standing relationship with a Barnstable Superior Court employee. Judge Beverly Cannone, who coincidentally presided over the Karen Reed murder trials, granted the $100,000 bail request for Alex Green with the stipulation he wear a monitoring bracelet. The ruling came on a request from Greene’s attorneys. Cape & Islands District Attorney Robert Galibois is appealing the decision and a hearing is scheduled for January 30th.
HYANNIS – From Barnstable Police: On Sunday March 16, 2025 at approximately 1 AM, officers from the Barnstable Police Department were dispatched to the North Street parking lot near Washington Street in Hyannis for a report of a gunshot. The first police officer arrived on scene and located a male that had suffered a gunshot wound to the head. The officer immediately began life saving measures, and shortly thereafter Hyannis Fire and Rescue personnel treated and transported the victim, a 41-year-old Hyannis resident, to Cape Cod Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Witnesses on scene informed officers that a dark colored pick-up truck had left the area after the shooting and a Barnstable Officer located the vehicle and its operator a short distance away from the North Street crime scene.
After a preliminary investigation, the suspect, a 36-year old Yarmouth resident Alex Greene (identified by the District Attorney’s office) , was taken into custody. Massachusetts State Police Detectives also responded to investigate and the male suspect was eventually charged with murder and booked at the Barnstable Police station, where he is currently being held without bail.
