Boston Police report a double shooting at 115 River St. early this morning left one person dead.

Police say they were called to Carney Hospital around 2:40 a.m. when two people with gunshot wounds showed up there:

One victim is 27 year old black male suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the arm. The second victim is a 28 year old black female who suffered a gunshot wound to the chest. She has succumbed to her injury and was pronounced.

Police say the man drove himself and the woman to the hospital.

Boston Police report that a Seminole, Fla. man, enraged on having his open door hit by another driver's bumper on Hyde Park Avenue, resorted to fists of fury to try to resolve the situation:

The victim states he attempted to drive around the suspect's car, but, in attempting to do so, his front bumper struck the suspect's open car door. At this point, the victim tells police that the suspect punched his front window and, then, his passenger side rear window. The latter strike caused the window to shatter. When asked about punching the victim's windows, the suspect stated, "I punched his front window and it didn't break. So, I punched the back window."

Officers then treated the man to some northern hospitality at Area E-18.

Meanwhile, as if the Herald doesn't have enough problems already, police report an alleged Dotdrunk rear-ended one of its delivery trucks at Blue Hill Avenue and Fairway Street.

Boston Police report a guy walking down Marlborough Street around midnight was set upon by three teens who grabbed him, pushed him to the ground, then started stomping him as they tried to wrest away his cellphone. They succeeded, but police say they nabbed Lawrence Brown, 18, of Jamaica Plain, Eddie X. Cartagena, 18, of Dorchester and Jonathan E. Calderon, 18, of Hyde Park not long after at Marlborough and Berkeley and arrested them on charges of assault and battery, assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon (shod foot) and unarmed robbery.

Police also report a bizarre holdup around the same time at the Sunoco station at 627 Cummins Highway in Mattapan: When they arrived to check out two men inside the locked station, they found two men claiming to be station attendants. After the owner arrived, however, they say they learned that only one of the men actually worked there:

The gas station employee stated that when he closed the gas station, the suspect emerged from the cooler. The suspect then proceeded to grab him and put a firearm to his head. The suspect, according to the victim, wanted the keys to the safe. The suspect then placed him in handcuffs and locked him in the bathroom. When officers arrived on scene, the suspect released from the handcuffs and demanded that he tell officers that they were both employees of the gas station.

Simon Jean-Louis, 22, of Dorchester, was arrested on a boatload of charges; police say they recovered a replica gun, a hammer, rope, two bags, and a pair of handcuffs.

Innocent, etc.

Glen Davis had promised kids at a Mattapan middle school he'd visit and even after the championship, he did.

Man, 21, shot to death at 742 Cummins Highway in Mattapan around 8 p.m. yesterday.

Globe: 2 shot as cycle of gang retaliation grips city.

Some shootings in Boston since Luis Troncoso was executed on 4/21 near Stony Brook station:

The Globe reports on state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson's desire to avoid another embarrassment like two years ago, when she, oops, forgot to file her nomination petitions on time. The paper writes:

This year, Wilkerson qualified for the primary ballot with a whopping 3,000 signatures, 10 times the amount she needed.

Not quite. As Linda Rodriguez at the South End News reports, Wilkerson actually only qualified with 428 signatures, just one more than her opponent, Sonia Chang-Diaz. This doesn't mean the remainder of her 3,000 signatures were bad, necessarily, just that elections officials stopped looking after a certain point.

The Herald reports the bike-riding teen, 16, was stabbed in the stomach, collapsed in front of his Almont Street home, was rushed to a local hospital.

Channel 4 reports a man was holding his six-month old infant inside their Fairlawn Avenue apartment Monday night when somebody fired into the apartment. The father was shot in the hand; the baby girl suffered internal injuries, was rushed to the hospial.

Because they don't have major supermarkets and so many residents must eat junk food from convenience stores, according to this Dig article.

Hmm, don't know about East Boston, but much of Mattapan is within a five or ten-minute drive of supermarkets in Roslindale and Hyde Park (and yes, I realize poor people are less likely to have cars).

Via Jimbo.

Lynn? That's where Boston Police report they found Pedro Ortiz, the sixth and, until yesterday, the only missing, defendant charged with beating and stabbing Terrence Jacobs to death last May.

Ortiz was arrested without incident in an apartment in Lynn, MA. He will be arraigned tomorrow in Suffolk Superior Court.
