BOSTON, MA — Boston Police arrested a second homicide suspect in connection with a triple shooting that left one person dead.
Kwessi Silcott, 20, of Mattapan, was arrested at about 10:30 p.m. Thursday at 2400 Washington Street in Roxbury.
Silcott was wanted on a warrant for murder and carrying a firearm without a license.
He is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester Court.
The arrest stems from an incident at about 1:24 p.m. on Oct. 11, when officers assigned to District B-3 responded to a ShotSpotter activation and reports of multiple people shot in the area of 2 Hiawatha Road in Mattapan.
Officers located three individuals suffering from gunshot wounds.
All three victims were treated at the scene and transported by Boston EMS to local hospitals.
On Nov. 7, one of the victims from the triple shooting was pronounced deceased.
The victim has been identified as G’Kiyah Lewis, 18, of Malden.
The other two adult male victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
