Framingham Police Recover 2 Illegal Guns This Week

FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Framingham Police Department Bureau of Investigative Services obtained two search warrants this week that led to the recovery of as many illegally possessed firearms, police officials said.

The first firearm was recovered on Sunday after a search warrant was carried out at a Phelps Road address. This warrant was obtained after a woman arrived at Metrowest Medical Center with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still under investigation. However, Johnnie L. Reddick-Turner, 36, of Framingham, is charged with possession of a firearm and ammunition without a license and improper storage of a firearm.

A second gun was recovered on Wednesday stemming from an incident at 73 Hollis St.

"During a disturbance at this location, one of the individuals involved displayed a firearm before fleeing the scene," police said. "A traffic stop conducted by Officer Matt Mangano later provided a lead that enabled detectives to obtain a search warrant."

Michael Powell, 40, of Framingham, was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery. Also charged with possession of ammunition without a license and carrying a gun without a license is Jose Diaz, 55.
