On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, officers assigned to District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested Corey Perfect Jean-Little, 22, of Dorchester, on multiple firearm offenses.
About 10:50 PM, while on directed patrol in the area of Talbot Avenue and Mallard Avenue, officers observed an altercation occurring in the middle of the street. A motor vehicle was seen idling in front of 16 Mallard Avenue, with multiple individuals surrounding the car.
One of the individuals was seen to reach under his zip-up hoodie and retrieved an unknown item from under his left armpit. A second suspect simultaneously began to reach towards his midsection and pin an object against his body. The group took notice of officers’ presence and took off in a full sprint.
A foot chase ensued, and officers were able to apprehend Jean-Little in the rear of 86 Southern Avenue. The suspect was placed into handcuffs, and officers observed that he was not wearing any shoes. The second suspect and involved vehicle were able to flee the scene.
Officers began to search the flight path of the first suspect, and recovered a firearm, a pair of shoes, and a cellphone in the driveway of 16 Mallard Avenue. Detectives responded to the scene and processed the firearm which was determined to be a Taurus Millennium with one round in the chamber and two rounds in a magazine capable of holding thirty rounds. The firearm was also equipped with a light attachment.
Jean-Little was placed under arrest and is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court for the following charges:
– Firearm violation with one prior violent/drug crime
– Possession of ammunition without an FID card
– Possession of a large capacity firearm
– Carry a firearm without a license, second offense
– Possession of a firearm without an FID card, subsequent offense
