A husband is accusing of shooting his wife while she was sitting in her car in a driveway in Everett Wednesday morning and the couple appeared to be in the middle of a divorce, authorities said.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon that 50-year-old Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo was shot and killed as she was leaving for work at St. Anthony’s Parish in Everett. Her LinkedIn profile lists her as a secretary there.

Emilio Matarazzo, her estranged husband, is now facing a murder charge in the killing, the district attorney said.

Police were called to 90 Central Ave. around 8:50 a.m. for a report of a shooting. They found Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo inside her car. She had been shot several times in the torso, Ryan said.

Around 10:30 a.m., Emilio Matarazzo, arrived at the Everett Police Station and turned himself in, according to police officials.

According to authorities, Emilio Matarazzo, had a license to carry a firearm.

Ryan said the couple was in the middle of a divorce. It is not yet clear what stage of the divorce proceedings the couple was in, Ryan said.

A second cousin to Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria Jr., Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo, served on the Board of Accessors and was a former member of the Board of Registrars.

Ersilia Cataldo Matarazzo was staying in Everett at her parent’s home, according to Ryan. Her husband lives in Peabody. She has three adult children, according to Everett Police Chief Steven A. Mazzie.

It is unclear when Emilio Matarazzo will be brought to court to face charges.
