Boston police say they have made an arrest in connection with a deadly shooting in Dorchester last month.
Diamond Jose Brito, 32, of Canton, was arrested Thursday night in Mattapan by the Boston Police Fugitive Unit and members of the Massachusetts State Police and U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, police said. He was wanted on several warrants out of Dorchester District Court for the murder of 20-year-old Elijah Ricardo Clunie, of Dorchester.The arrest is related to a daytime shooting on Sept. 2 inside a barbershop on Washington Street in Dorchester.
The search continues Monday night for a person accused of a double shooting at a Dorchester barbershop earlier that day. NBC10 Boston obtained video from the moments after the gun went off. Both men were taken to area hospitals with life-threatening injuries, and one of them -- Clunie -- died at the hospital. The second victim's name has not been released, and police said he is expected to survive.
"He was a good kid," Clunie's grandfather, Renier Thompson, said in the aftermath of the shooting."Skinny, wasn't threatening. If you look at him, you wouldn't be scared of him... Looked like a baby in the face."Boston police are continuing to investigate the shooting, and urge anyone with information to call them at 617-343-4470.
