Massachusetts woman allegedly shot to death by her husband remembered as sweet, loyal, loving and kind

WINTHROP — The Winthrop Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred Sunday morning at an apartment building on Beacon Street.

At approximately 8:37 a.m. on Sunday, the Metro North Regional Emergency Communications Center received multiple calls reporting a disturbance at 26 Beacon Street.

Initial reports indicated a verbal argument was taking place and that a firearm may have been involved.

Officers responded immediately and located an adult female suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers and emergency personnel rendered medical aid on scene before the victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital with what appeared to be serious, life-threatening injuries. She later died from those injuries.

As a result of an on-scene investigation, Winthrop Police quickly detained one person of interest for questioning.

Winthrop Police secured the scene and notified Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

According to multiple reports, 58-year-old Sean Brewer is facing a charge of manslaughter in the death of his wife, 47-year-old Jacklyn Berry.

Family members say through a fundraiser that “Jackie was sweet, loyal, loving and kind. She was a nurturer. She was a proud sister, daughter, and auntie, niece, friend and cousin to so many. Words cannot express the devastating impact of this loss on all of us. The world is a little less bright today because she’s gone. Jackie, we will love and miss you for the rest of our days.”

Brewer is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday.
