STOUGHTON, Mass. — Two teens are under arrest and one gunman is still at large following a shooting at a Stoughton CVS Thursday.

Marcus Pierre-Louis, 23, is the third suspect wanted in connection to the shooting, according to Stoughton police.

An 18-year-old was shot at a CVS near the intersection of Central Street and Washington Street. According to the Stoughton Fire Department, the gunshot victim was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

“The victim was inside, three suspects walked in after he was already in the store.. The altercation took place,” Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said.

Witnesses tell FOX25 the shooting happened inside the store after an argument between a group of people.

“I just heard that they were arguing, I only saw a couple of guys, and they were arguing and they said they were going to take it outside, then I went further down the aisle because I didn’t want to get involved and I just heard a pop, there was two pops,” Renee Noguera told FOX25.

Witnesses say the victim received immediate treatment from an employee who worked in the store.

“Certainly this bothers me, it was not a random act,” McNamara said.

Police said the victim was an 18-year-old man who was shot in the shoulder. He is expected to survive.

Witnesses said they saw three adults run out of the store after the shooting and get into a vehicle that sped off.

Friday morning, police announced that 2 teens, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were arrested in connection to the shooting. Those teens are facing conspiracy and assault with intent to kill charges. According to a source, one of the teens is related to the shooter.

Pierre-Louis, the gunman, is still at large.

“He is considered armed and dangerous, we do not want you to approach him. Just call the police department,” McNamara said.
