Police say two suspects were found and arrested in Fall River after Boston shooting

FALL RIVER, Mass. (WLNE) — The Boston Police Department said two suspects were arrested in Fall River after a shooting in Boston on March 8.

26-year-old Eliezer Quinones, of Brattleboro, Vermont, and 28-year-old Jahleel Sanders-Williams, of Lynn, are charged with armed assault with intent to murder.

Additionally, Quinones is charged with aggravated assault and battery, and Sanders-Williams is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm second offense and defacement of a firearm serial number.

On March 8, around 12:23 a.m., police were dispatched to Kingston Street in Boston for a report of an individual who was shot.

At the scene, police said first responders provided aid to a man, who was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injures.

According to Boston police, another victim was discovered at the hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

Police who stayed on scene were able to review security cameras and provide a description of the two suspects who fled in a vehicle.

Boston police said one officer followed them on security cameras and saw the passenger open the door and get rid of an “unknown object,” which police later discovered was allegedly a Glock 19 with no magazine and an “obliterated” serial number.

Around 4 a.m., Massachusetts State Police reported that the suspects were stopped on Route 24 in Fall River.

The defendants were taken into custody and booked, and the vehicle was towed to Boston Police Headquarters, according to Boston police.

Both suspects are expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.
