The double-killing of the sons of a retired Lowell police sergeant early Sunday morning in the normally quiet Sacred Heart neighborhood was a case of mistaken identity, The Sun has learned...
According to several sources, the suspect broke down a door to the apartment and encountered the brothers and one of their wives. The suspect was yelling that he was looking for someone. At gunpoint, he herded the brothers and the woman into a bathroom, where he told them to remain there while he looked around. The sources said the Callahans expressed concern about a young child about 11, who was sleeping on a nearby couch. At that point, the suspect opened fire, possibly after an altercation with the brothers, the sources said...
Officers arrived to find Keith Callahan dead from gunshot wounds, and Joseph Callahan suffering from a gunshot wound that would claim his life after he was taken to Lowell General Hospital.

A Chelsea man has been charged in connection with the fatal shootings of Keith and Joseph Callahan, Lowell police and the Middlesex District Attorney announced in a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Dara Poum, 28, of Chelsea, is facing two counts of murder. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Chelsea on unrelated warrants.
A sketch police released led police to Poum, who is also linked to the crime by DNA on a cigarette butt left at the scene, officials said.
