BOSTON — Cambridge Police have made an arrest in connection to an early morning shooting that injured an 18-year-old in Cambridge on Sunday.
Thomas Davis, 27, was arrested on drug-related charges.
A witness told Boston 25 News that it’s not uncommon to hear college students early in the morning, but when he looked outside his office window and saw a man pull a trigger, he was stunned.
Edmund Fosu was finishing up his shift at an Elliot Street parking garage when he saw the unthinkable.
“All of the sudden I saw the arm with a gun right at the edge of the brick” Fosu said. “Poom, poom, poom, and everybody started flying.”
An unfamiliar sound, even for 3:30 in the morning, in an area filled mostly with Harvard students.
“I was shocked, you know,” Fosu said. “It took me I would say 5 minutes to even call the cops because the whole thing looked like, is it real or is it a movie?”

The shooting appears to be drug-related. Investigators spent most of the early morning hours collecting multiple shell casings from the scene.
Rajinder Kumar has owned a restaurant on Elliott Street for two decades. He says he can only remember one other shooting in the area and won’t let Sunday’s shooting scare him.
“There is nothing to be scared or something,” Kumar said. “This area is not like that. It could happen anywhere, but everybody feels that it is safe. It’s a nice area we’re over here in the night sometimes there’s no problem.”
Police are reviewing surveillance cameras and searching for more suspects. As for the 18-year-old, he has been released from the hospital after sustaining non-life-threatening injuries.
Police say the teen told them the shooting happened after two groups got into an argument in Harvard Square.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact Cambridge Police 617-349-3300.
