Vermont State Police have identified the man killed Monday night in an apparent drug robbery in St. Johnsbury as 47-year-old Matthew Lomasney.

Lomasney, of St. Johnsbury, died as a result of gunshot wounds to his torso and the manner of death has been ruled a homicide by the Vermont Chief Medical Examiner’s Office, which conducted an autopsy Wednesday, according to a state police press release.

Capt. Jeremy Hill of the state police said Tuesday that the investigation stems from an apparent robbery late Monday night over illegal drugs at an apartment house on Summer Street.
