Castagnino faces a charge of second-degree murder. She's due to be arraigned Friday in Manchester District Court; it wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney who could speak to her arrest.

Prosecutors didn't say what they believe led to Pelio's shooting or speak to whether he had a relationship with Castagnino.
