Arrest made in connection to Mattapan slayings
Boston police have arrested Kimani Washington of Dorchester in Manchester, N.H., in connection with the Mattapan killings of four people including a toddler.
Kimani, who is in his 30s, was not charged with murder, but he was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, ammunition, and receiving a stolen motor vehicle, police said. He was apprehended by the Boston Police Fugitive Task force and homicide detectives, Elaine Driscoll, spokeswoman for the Boston police, said.
“We will begin the extradition process as soon as possible,” said Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley.
Five people were found shot on Woolson Street in Mattapan early Tuesday morning. Four of the victims, including a 2-year-old toddler, died. A fifth victim is clinging to life in a Boston hospital.
