At about 1:05 AM on Wednesday October 16, 2019, officers assigned to District B-2 (Roxbury) responded to a radio call for shots fired in the area of 12 Arion Street in Dorchester. On arrival, officers located multiple shell casings in front of the address.
Officers were able to obtain video footage which showed the suspect, later identified as Troy Connally, 35 of Boston, lifting his right arm out of his jacket pocket and pointing a firearm towards the sky. Officers then observed several muzzle flashes.
Officers canvassed the area and observed the suspect walking in the area of Arion Street and Davern Avenue. Officers approached and stopped the suspect at which time they recovered the slide of a semi-automatic weapon from his jacket pocket. The suspect was then placed in custody on scene without incident.
Mr. Connally was placed under arrest and charged with the following: Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of a Loaded Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition and Firearm Discharged Within 500 Feet of a Dwelling. He is expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
