Juvenile Arrested in Connection with Boston Double Homicide
A juvenile fugitive, sought for two counts of murder, was apprehended on Wednesday, as confirmed by the Massachusetts District of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The arrest took place in Foxborough and was executed without any incidents. The individual was wanted for their involvement in a double homicide that occurred on May 24, 2025, in Boston.
Details of the Incident
On the night of May 24, Boston Police responded to reports of a shooting near 38 Franklin Hill Avenue in Dorchester. Upon arrival, officers found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, one victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital, while the second succumbed to their injuries shortly thereafter.
The deceased victims were identified as Walter Wilkens, 36, from Quincy, Massachusetts, and Anthony McIntosh, 66, from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
Legal Actions Following the Incident
In the wake of the incident, a warrant for arrest was issued by Suffolk Superior Court, charging the juvenile with two counts of murder and an additional firearms-related infraction. Law enforcement officials from multiple agencies collaborated on the arrest in Foxborough and subsequently transported the minor to Boston.
Statement from Law Enforcement
Authorities opted not to disclose the name of the juvenile due to their status as a minor. Dennis Matulewicz, the Attorney General-designated U.S. Marshal for the District of Massachusetts, emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts among law enforcement agencies. He stated, “This arrest demonstrates the exceptional collaboration and unwavering commitment of our law enforcement partners to holding those accused of violent crimes accountable and protecting the communities we serve.” He also expressed hope that the apprehension would provide some comfort to the families affected by this tragic loss.
