At about 6:25 PM, on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, officers assigned to District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested a 17-year-old Juvenile male on firearm charges.

Officers responded to the area of 41 Stockton Street for a report of a person with a gun. Boston Police Operations provided officers with a description of three teenagers in the rear of that address, and one male had a firearm.

Upon arrival, officers observed the group of males sitting on the front steps of 45 Stockton Street. Officers observed one of the males to have his arm pinned to his side, and bladed his body away. Officers advised the group that they could not be on someone else's property.
