In the quiet, early morning hours of Sunday, September 21, 2025, the calm in Corinth, Maine, was shattered by the sound of gunfire. Multiple 911 calls from the vicinity of 272 Main Street sent Maine State Police troopers rushing to the scene. Outside the residence, they discovered a gravely wounded man who was immediately given life-saving aid and transported by LifeFlight to a local hospital in critical condition.
Their investigation quickly led them to a nearby apartment they believed was connected to the shooting. Inside, they found the body of 46-year-old Scott Roberts, a White male from the nearby town of Glenburn. He was deceased. His body was later taken to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta, where an autopsy confirmed he had died from a gunshot wound. His death was officially ruled a homicide.
As detectives from the Major Crimes Unit North and the Evidence Response Team descended on the scene to piece together the events of that tragic morning, details about the circumstances remained scarce. Authorities did not release the name of the injured man or any potential connection between him and Roberts. While no arrests were immediately made, investigators stated they believed the shooting was an isolated incident and that there was no ongoing threat to the public.
The investigation into the death of Scott Roberts is active and ongoing. Maine State Police have appealed to the public for any information that might shed light on the case, asking anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact Detective Jake Ferland. This violent event left one man dead, another fighting for his life, and a community searching for answers.
