Cambridge Police Arrest Man in Shooting

CAMBRIDGE, MA - A Dorchester man was arraigned this week in connection with a late-night shooting earlier this month on Bishop Allen Drive.

Dwan Knight, 24, of Dorchester, was arraigned and charged with carrying a firearm without a license, 2nd offense, and a firearm violation with one prior violent or drug crime in Cambridge District Court on May 25 in connection with the May 15 Bishop Allen Drive parking lot gunshots incident.

Judge Roanne Sragow set bail at $15,000 cash and then ordered the defendant held due to an open probation warrant. The next scheduled hearing in this case is Thursday, June 23.

“The defendant allegedly opened fire in a public space which could have resulted in serious harm to members of the public, fortunately no one was injured," said District Attorney Marian Ryan in a release. "The apprehension of the suspect in this matter was the result of a thorough investigation that followed that incident."

At approximately 2:14 a.m. on Sunday, May 15, officers responded to Bishop Allen Drive and discovered two motor vehicles parked in Lot 6 that were struck by gunfire, according to the DA's office. There were no reported injuries or victims, but after the Cambridge Police canvassed the area, officers recovered two firearms and 13 shell casings, the DA's office said.

Authorities say that evidence discovered from one of the vehicles parked in Lot 6 at the time of the incident was utilized during this investigation.

This incident was investigated by the Cambridge Police Department and supported by the Boston Police Department.

This charge is an allegation and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, prosecutors said
