Two Juveniles Charged with Firearms Offenses Following Wakefield Shooting
WAKEFIELD – Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Wakefield Chief of Police Steven Skory have confirmed that a 17-year-old male juvenile from Wakefield and a 16-year-old male from Lynn have been charged with firearms offenses in connection with the non-fatal shooting of a 21-year-old female that occurred early yesterday morning in Wakefield.
The 17-year-old has been charged with possession of a firearm without an FID Card, possession of ammunition without an FID Card, receiving a firearm with a defaced serial number and possession of a large capacity feeding device.
The 16-year-old has been charged with carrying a firearm without a license and carrying a loaded firearm without a license.
At approximately 3:39 a.m. on September 22, 2020, Wakefield Police responded to the Everly Apartments complex parking garage located on Audubon Road for a report of a victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. The victim, a 21-year-old female, was located in the driver’s seat of a Honda CRV with a gunshot wound to her neck area. The victim was transported to an area hospital where she remains hospitalized.
The two juveniles charged in connection with the shooting were located on the scene. The preliminary investigation suggests that the two juveniles were in the victim’s presence shortly before the shooting and that they both were in illegal possession of separate firearms.
The 17-year-old was arraigned today in the Cambridge Juvenile Court, the 16-year-old is expected to be arraigned tomorrow. Juvenile proceedings are closed to the public.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assault with a firearm that resulted in the victim being struck remains open and ongoing.
