BOSTON, MA — The police department announced that a second arrest has been made related to an incident that took place at Harambee Park in May.

On the evening of Sunday, May 18, officers noticed two people adjusting objects near their midsections at Harambee Park. Both people soon fled from the police and evaded arrest.

He was wanted on charges of Carrying a Firearm Without a License, Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device, and Possession of Ammunition without an FID Card at the time of his arrest.
