Multiple victims were injured after gunfire erupted in a Boston
neighborhood on Saturday morning, police said.
At around 7:44 a.m., the Boston Police Department received a call about an
active shooting incident at Blue Hill Avenue and Talbot Avenue, Officer
Michael Torigian said.
"Seven victims have been shot and transported to local hospitals with non-
life threatening injuries," said Torigian. "Firearms have been recovered
and arrests made."
The scene is still active, and an investigation is ongoing.
A Caribbean American festival was scheduled to take place today nearby at
Franklin Park. Last year, one person was killed, and several more were
injured during the J'ouvert and Carnival Parade.
Boston City Council President Ed Flynn said, "Today’s mass shooting
highlights the gun violence crisis we are facing."
"This is a public health & public safety emergency. [Boston police]
continue to confiscate and recover guns at an alarming rate and now is the
time to come together & develop a gun violence strategy in Boston," he
posted on X.
There is a history of violent incidents that have taken place around
Caribbean festivals in Boston and Cambridge, according to the Boston
Herald.
On Aug. 24, 2019, two men exchanged gunfire in front of officers at
Boston's J'ouvert Parade. Police arrested Michael Warner, 34, of Hyde Park
and Atunbi Bryan, 27, of Brockton in Dorcehster in connection to the
shooting. Police Commissioner William G. Gross said the violence stemmed
from parties before and after the event adan was unrelated to the
Caribbean Carnvial Parade, which started about five hours after the
J'ouvert Parade, the Herald reported. Cambridge authorities said they
feared the incident would lead to retaliatory violence at that city's
Caribbean parade the following week.
In 2017, two men were shot with non-life threatening injuries at the
Cambridge Caribbean Carnival.
On Aug. 23, 2014, 26-year-old Dawnn Jaffier was shot in the head when she
was caught in the crossfire between two rivals with gang affiliations at
the J'ouvert Parade in Boston. In December 2017, Keith Williams, 21, and
Wesson Colas, 25, were convicted of her murder.
In 2010, three parade watchers were shot, one fatally, in connection with
the Boston Caribbean Carnival.
In 2008, a man police believed to be a carnival attendee was found stabbed
to death in a Dorchester park.
In 2007, four people were stabbed as they attended festival activities.
On Aug. 25, 2001, Darryl Greene, 28, and Branden Morris, 24, were accused
of fatally shooting Terrell Gethers at Boston's annual Caribbean Carnival,
the Herald reported. They were indicted on first-degree murder charges by
a Suffolk grand jury in June 2006.
