Meanwhile, over in Dorchester, police say they arrested a couple of thugs who allegedly robbed a pizza-delivery guy at 54 Olney St. Monday - after an accomplice in a wheelchair directed the guy to the side of her house, where they were waiting.

But wait, there's more to the tale: Police say the pizza guy didn't report the incident to police until the next day - and only after he spotted his two, now empty, pizza boxes in the trash outside 42 Olney St:

The victim reported that he stopped to take pictures of the pizza boxes with his phone camera, and as he did so was approached by a suspect who stated to him, "Too late for you old man!" The victim reported that the suspect then ran into 42 Olney Street. The victim stated that he returned a second time and then observed another suspect ordering two other males to remove the pizza boxes from the trash. According to the victim, the suspects, once they observed him, fled into 42 Olney Street.

Only then did he flag down an officer, police say. After obtaining a search warrant, police made a delivery of their own - Jermaine Winslow, 19 and Tony Lee Winslow, 23, both of Dorchester - to the nearest police station. Police say they also confiscated a shotgun, ammunition for the shotgun, a wheelchair, the victim's watch and the pizza store's pizza warming bag.

Ernest Ferguson, 35, is accused of gunning down Bryan Whitsey of Brockton on Aug. 5, 2005, while Whitsey was visiting relatives in Dorchester. According to the Suffolk County DA's office:

Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Hickman expects to present evidence proving that Ferguson approached Whitsey as he socialized with others at about 4:30 that afternoon.

"Do you remember me?" Ferguson allegedly asked.

When Whitsey replied in the negative, Ferguson allegedly produced a handgun from his pocket, prompting Whitsey to run. Ferguson allegedly chased the victim and fired on him, striking Whitsey in the leg and causing him to fall.

Ferguson then allegedly walked over to the fallen man and fired at least three more times before running away.

Prosecutors allege that 12 years earlier, some friends of Whitsey had held up Ferguson, who then came after him with a gun - at which point one of the robbers shot Ferguson in the face.

The Globe reports:

According to witnesses, the suspect approached the victim, pulled out a firearm and began shooting.

Despite being shot repeatedly, the victim is recovering at Brigham and Women's Hospital, police say. Matra was arrested yesterday on charges of assault with intent to murder and unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition.

In 2000, Matra, then a sixth-grader at the Frank V. Thompson Middle School in Dorchester, wrote a winning essay for the Max Warburg Challenge Curriculum, a citywide program honoring the memory of a Boston sixth grader who died in 1991. In his essay, Matra wrote about what he did when he was 8 1/2 and saw two older girls picking on a little first grader and making her cry:

... Suddenly, I felt a big bag of courage open up inside of me. I ran over and told them to leave her alone. They refused. I told them that if they didn't leave her alone, I would tell their mothers.

The older girls finally apologized to the first-grader because they didn't want to get into trouble. The little girl thanked me. Later she and I became friends. I found out that her name was Christal, and that the two older girls were bothering her because they didn't like her older sister Jasmine.

I felt good about myself for helping Christal. I risked getting beat up to help her from getting hurt. ...
