'Let Them Stay In Your House': Boston Police Head Criticizes Release Of Criminals

BOSTON — Family and friends are mourning the loss of a man respected through his Dorchester neighborhood. Boston Police say he was among five people shot late Wednesday night during a gathering on Ames Street.

Keith Andrews says he knew the victim as, “a really nice guy,” who liked to work on cars, detailing them. Ileana Lavoy says the victim is her brother in law and family members, “are broken because they took somebody that had no problem with nobody.”

Police Commissioner William Gross says the shooting is under investigation, and during a news conference Thursday afternoon, he took the opportunity to call out judges who release criminals from jail because of COVID-19 concerns. “The mentality out on the street, this from a 35-year street cop, is that you can do whatever you want because there are no repercussions from the court,” Gross said.
