The suspect in Monday’s wild shootout on Memorial Drive in Cambridge was once a part of a reentry program affiliated with Tufts University.
The Tufts Prison Initiative educates incarcerated people looking to earn a bachelor’s degree in civic studies.
In a social media post, Brown is thanked for speaking at an event in November of last year.
Brown is now accused in Monday’s active shooting in which he allegedly fired 50-60 rounds and seriously injured two.
Court records reviewed by 25 Investigates show that Brown pleaded guilty to 7 serious charges, including armed assault to murder and possession of a large-capacity firearm. Judge Sanders ordered Brown’s sentences to run concurrently, effectively allowing him to serve the time for all his charges simultaneously.
As a result of the reduced sentence, Brown was released on parole in just three and a half years. Sources tell Boston 25 he was speaking to his parole officer by phone prior to opening fire on citizens and law enforcement Monday afternoon.
A police report reveals law enforcement knew Brown had a long rifle and a history of mental illness.
