A 23-year-old woman is being held without bail after her 63-year-old aunt died during a family fight at a Massachusetts home over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, authorities said.

Modesta Gomez, of Lawrence, was arraigned Monday afternoon in Lawrence District Court on charges including assault and battery on a person over 60 and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon following a domestic dispute that turned deadly late Sunday at the Bicknell Avenue home in Methuen, according to Carrie Kimball Monahan, a spokeswoman for the Essex District Attorney’s Office.

Officers were called to the home at about 10 p.m. Sunday after receiving reports of a fight and an unresponsive woman. They soon found Martina Gomez in the back seat of a car as relatives were preparing to drive her to a hospital. She was then rushed to Lawrence General Hospital, where was pronounced dead,

Modesta Gomez allegedly drove to the home from Lawrence after picking up on a family dispute that spilled onto social media. Once there, Modesta Gomez allegedly assaulted her cousin, prompting her aunt to try to break up the fight. The elder Gomez was then allegedly struck by Modesta Gomez, Kimball Monahan said.

An autopsy was scheduled for Monday to determine a cause of death.

The incident remains under investigation by the Essex District Attorney’s Office, the Essex State Police Detective Unit and Methuen police, Kimball Monahan said.

A plea of not guilty was entered on Gomez’s behalf during her arraignment, authorities said.
