Two people have been arrested and charged in connection with a deadly shooting in Biddeford last month.

Garret Labonte, 45, and Linda Lambert, 56, were arrested Monday night in connection with the Sept. 27 shooting of Gene Dares, according to a spokesperson for the Office of the Maine Attorney General.
Dares, 46, was shot and later found on Foss Street about 11 p.m., according to Maine State Police. His death was ruled a homicide.
Both Labonte and Lambert are being held at the York County Jail, staff confirmed Tuesday.
Labonte was charged with one count of knowing or intentional murder and is being held without bail. He was also charged with felony murder and robbery.
Lambert was charged with felony murder and robbery charges. Her bail was set Monday at $250,000.
All court records, including an affidavit laying out the state’s case and warrants for their arrest, were sealed from the public on Tuesday. A clerk for the court said Lambert will make her first appearance Wednesday morning, and Labonte will appear Thursday.

A person is guilty of felony murder if a death is caused while committing or trying to commit a felony, such as robbery, burglary or kidnapping. It carries a maximum of 30 years in prison, while murder carries a minimum of 25 years.
Dares was born in Malden, Massachusetts, but grew up in Biddeford, according to an obituary. He was a son, brother and father to three girls. His family remembered him in the obituary for his sense of style, his infectious smile and “unshakable loyalty.”
“Taken from us far too soon, Gene will be deeply missed every day,” the obituary states. “Though his mission in life wasn’t yet complete, he will live on in the cherished memories and deep love shared by his family and friends.”
