At about 2:40 a.m. Thursday, emergency personnel responded to a 911 call reporting that an adult man living at a Walker Street home had sustained life-threatening injuries.

The victim was transported to Lowell General Hospital and pronounced dead.

A preliminary investigation found that Mann was assaulted during a home invasion early Thursday morning. The victim was located when a second individual, who also lives in the Walker Street residence, returned to the home.

Authorities said that Cobb had allegedly stolen a safe and a video game console from the Walker Street home, which were allegedly later found in his trash.
