At about 6:57 PM, on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, members of the Youth Violence Strike Force arrested Giovanni Eden-Chambers, 18, of Dorchester, on firearm charges.
Officers were conducting an ongoing firearm investigation in the area of 633 Shawmut Avenue. Officers were aware that the target of their investigation was in possession of a firearm. Officers observed the suspect standing outside of an open door of a motor vehicle that was double parked.
Officers circled the block, and saw the suspect now seated inside the vehicle. Officers requested the suspect to exit the vehicle, and observed him to be pinning his arm to his waistband. Officers conducted a pat frisk, and recovered a firearm from his waistband. The firearm was later determined to be a Smith and Wesson SD40 with one round in the chamber, and twelve rounds in the magazine.
Eden-Chambers was placed under arrest and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device. He is expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court.
