Three stabbed, two shot in overnight violence

By Ben Paulin, Globe correspondent

Police are searching for two suspects who allegedly shot two people outside of Slade’s Bar and Grill, on Tremont Street in the South End, early this morning.

Officers responded to a call shortly after 2 a.m. to find two victims who had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. One of the victims was taken to Boston Medical Center, the other to Brigham and Woman’s Hospital and both were treated for non-life threatening injuries, said police spokesman Officer James Kenneally. The suspects are believed to be two males in their early twenties, according to police.

Police also arrested and charged two male suspects with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, after three men, all in their early 20s, were stabbed in Brighton this morning shortly after 4:30 a.m.

Carlos Ribeiro, 20, of Cambridge, and Alex Sousa, 19, of Brighton, were at a party at 20 Dustin Street when an altercation with the three victims ensued. The quarrel then moved out to the street where the men were allegedly stabbed.

The victims, who are from Brighton, were admitting themselves to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital when police arrived. One of the victims was treated for life threatening injuries, the other two, for non-life threatening injuries. Ribeiro and Sousa will be arraigned at Brighton District Court on Monday, according to Kenneally.
