Man Shot in Leg During Alleged Drug Deal Dies

Twenty-nine-year-old Anthony Gamache of Goshen, Massachusetts, died after police say he was shot by a teen during a drug deal in Pittsfield.

Authorities say a 29-year-old man shot in the leg during what police say was a drug deal in Pittsfield earlier this week has died.

The Berkshire district attorney's office says Anthony Gamache, of Goshen, died at the hospital Wednesday night, a day after he was shot while sitting in a car in the parking lot of a supermarket. An autopsy is scheduled.

The 18-year-old Pittsfield man charged with shooting Gamache is scheduled in court Friday for a dangerousness hearing.

The Berkshire Eagle reports that Peter Campbell has pleaded not guilty to charges including assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. It's unclear if charges will be upgraded in light of Gamache's death.

Police say Campbell and another man met Gamache and two friends in the lot for a drug deal.
