One man was found dead and another was arrested Saturday in connection with a shooting in Indian Township, police said.

Officials from the Indian Township police and fire departments responded to reports of a shooting at 312 Peter Dana Point Road just before 9:30 p.m. and found the body of 41-year-old Cory Fields, of Indian Island.

An investigation by the Maine State Police major crimes unit and evidence response team led to the arrest of 46-year-old Jeremy Stevens of Indian Township, according to a state police news release. Stevens was charged with murder and taken to the Washington County Jail in Machias.

Fields’ body was taken to the Office of Chief Medical Examiner in Augusta, which determined his death was a homicide. An autopsy performed Saturday concluded his cause of death to be gunshot wounds.

Officials from the Passamaquoddy Tribal Warden Service, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene Saturday.

Authorities said they are still investigating the incident.
