5 people wounded, 3 arrested on gun charges after Mattapan shooting
BOSTON - Five people were wounded in a shooting in Mattapan early Wednesday morning, and Boston Police said several people are now facing gun charges.
It happened just before 2 a.m. on Edgewater Drive near River Street.
It's not clear yet what led to the shooting. Police said all five victims had what they described as "non-life-threatening injuries."
Three were taken to hospitals by ambulance and the other two transported themselves for treatment.
Police said officers saw a car attempting to leave the scene of the shooting and spoke to the people inside. Following the interaction, a loaded gun was found with one round in the chamber and four in the magazine.
A third person was also allegedly seen tossing a gun. They were arrested and the gun was found with one round in the chamber and 14 rounds in the magazine.
Hakeem Ramey, 29, of Brockton, Nashaly Seguinot, 25, of Boston, and Samuel Roman, 24, of Boston were charged with unlawful possession of a firearm
"No one has been charged for the shootings as of yet," police told WBZ-TV in an email.
Dozens of evidence markers were seen on River Street, many of them around one car. Several empty carboard fireworks boxes also littered the road.
"Wild. The fireworks were going crazy. There was some big ones, some small ones," Mattapan resident Tchorzky Eugene told WBZ-TV.
No other information is available at this point in the investigation.
Ramey, Sequinot and Roman were expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.
