Boston Driver Follows Waze, Finds Gunfight: Video

A video posted online Sunday shows a gunfight in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood and the reaction from an unsuspecting driver who captured the footage and rapidly backed away from the scene.

The video, which contains explicit language, was taken as the driver used the Waze directions app to navigate, according to the video's caption. The person who took and posted the video notes, and police have confirmed, that no one appeared to have been hurt in the shooting.

Nearly 278,000 people have viewed the online footage so far, as of this posting.

Boston.com first pointed out the video.

The gunfight took place in the area of 25 Dale Street shortly before 6:30 p.m. Saturday, police said.

One of the people in the dashcam video who appears to be firing shots has been arrested Monday, police said. Devaughn Dardy, 21, of Boston was charged with assault by means of a dangerous weapon (gun), unlawful possession of a firearm and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.

"I want to commend my officers for the fine work that lead to today's quick arrest," Boston Police commissioner William Evans said. "I also want to thank the vehicle owner for her decision to share this video with our officers. Thanks to her help, we received several calls from concerned community members who helped us identify the suspect. And, as I said earlier in the day, if we had more people come forward like that every day, our job would be a lot easier and our ability to solve crimes that much better."
