On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, officers assigned to District B-2 (Roxbury) arrested a 17-year-old Juvenile Male, on firearm charges after a loud party call.
At about 9:17 PM, officers responded to the area of 39 Mount Pleasant Avenue for a report of a loud party. Upon arrival, officers could see approximately fifty people blocking the street and had placed a large orange cone in the middle of the road.
Members of the group immediately took notice of officers’ presence and began walking towards 45 Mount Pleasant. Officers exited their cruiser and approached the group, which one individual immediately fled in a full sprint.
The individual was not being followed by officers, and their attention was immediately drawn to a second individual. This particular person was wearing an all black sweatshirt and sweatpants, while the rest of the group was wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts.
While approaching the group, the individual attempted to separate himself and stopped in the crosswalk to look where officers were located. An officer immediately stopped the suspect and observed a large bulge protruding from the suspect’s front sweatshirt pocket/waistband area.
As the officer attempted to conduct a pat frisk, the suspect immediately swatted the officer’s hands and attempted to flee. The suspect was quickly apprehended, and with the assistance of responding officers, a firearm was recovered from the suspect’s sweatshirt.
The firearm was determined to be a Glock 45 with a one round in the chamber and sixteen rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
The 17-year-old Juvenile Male was placed under arrest and is expected to be arraigned in Boston Juvenile Court for the following offenses:
– Delinquent to wit; Carrying a Firearm Without a License
– Delinquent to wit; Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License
– Delinquent to wit; Possession of Ammunition Without an FID Card

While on scene, officers could hear numerous individuals shouting to each other that officers were in the area. At this time, two individuals took off in a full sprint, but were holding the front of their waistbands.
