About 1:03 p.m. Thursday, a Boston Police sergeant was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Dearborn and Dudley streets when he heard multiple shots fired.
The sergeant saw a suspect run towards a vehicle and flee towards Melnea Cass Boulevard. Police broadcast a description of the vehicle and the suspect’s direction over the radio.
Officers located the vehicle along the Massachusetts Avenue connector.
Officers stopped the motor vehicle and placed the suspect, later identified as Carrasquillo, in custody. Police recovered a holstered Smith and Wesson M&P M2 firearm from Carrasquillo‘s waist. The firearm had one round in the chamber and four rounds in the magazine.
Detectives reviewed video footage, which showed Carrasquillo firing a weapon in the direction of Zeigler Street.
Detectives recovered ballistic evidence at the scene.
During the investigation, detectives saw three people on Zeigler Street, with two of the people returning fire towards Carrasquillo.
Officers began to canvass the area and found multiple vehicles with ballistic damage. Police said detectives also collected ballistic evidence in the area of Dearborn and Zeigler streets.
Members of the Youth Violence Strike Force found ballistic evidence in the rear of 121 Zeigler St., police said.
Detectives determined that the three people involved ran into 121 Ziegler St. Police set up a perimeter around the house.
The sergeant in command on the scene declared a barricaded suspect and requested a SWAT team and negotiators to respond.
After negotiations with the suspects, three males and a female exited the house. Police said the address was then secured pending a search warrant.
Police said the third male and female were later released.
