The Cambridge Police Department today announced that Jean Griffin, 41, of Boston, has been arrested in connection with last Sunday’s shooting incident in the area of Elm Street and Cambridge Street. The May 20th shooting was not believed to be random and the subsequent investigation led to the issuance of a warrant for the defendant's arrest.
Griffin will face a number of charges, including Armed Assault to Murder, Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm, Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, and Malicious Destruction of Property. He is expected to be arraigned at Cambridge District Court today.
The defendant was located yesterday by officers with the Cambridge Police Department, Boston Police Department and U.S. Marshals in Dorchester and placed under arrest.
“I want to thank the members of the community who cooperated with us on this timely investigation,” said Cambridge Police Commissioner Branville G. Bard, Jr. “Our officers have aggressively been working this case and were determined to identify and locate the suspect responsible for it. Due to their thorough investigation, cooperation from residents and support from our local law enforcement partners, we were able to quickly resolve this case.
These charges are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
