BOSTON POLICE ARREST SUSPECT WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHOOTING OF A LOCAL STREETWORKER

Today, Tuesday, October 20, 2009, at about 8:20am, members of the Boston Police Fugitive Apprehension Unit, US Marshalls and officers from Area B-3 (Mattapan) located and apprehended the suspect wanted for the shooting of a local Streetworker.

Domenic Hall, 25, of Boston will be charged with Assault with the Intent to Murder and the Unlawful Possession of a Firearm.

On Friday, August 21, 2009 at approximately 9:00pm, officers from Area D-4 (South End) responded to a radio call for a person shot in the area of 10 Hammond Street. On arrival, officers observed a large crowd gathered in front of the location. Upon arrival, officers learned that an individual, suffering from a gunshot wound, had left the scene and was being transported to the Boston Medical Center via a civilian motor vehicle. Upon arrival at BMC, the victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The victim was identified as a local Streetworker.

Officers also learned that the individual responsible for the shooting had fled the scene on foot. Officers promptly broadcast a description of the suspect over the police radio. A search of the area for the suspect, however, proved to be unsuccessful.

Witness cooperation led investigators to the identification of the suspect. With the identification made, detectives sought and received an arrest warrant charging Hall with the shooting.
