New Hampshire man charged with June murder in East Boston
Boston Police report the arrest of Jeremy Menendez, 29, of Nashua, NH, for the June 1 murder of Taquise Johnson on Border Street in East Boston.
Johnson was found with multiple gunshot wounds.
Menendez was arrested in Nashua today by BPD fugitive-unit officers with the assistance of US marshals and Nashua Police.
Menendez, shown here in a 2016 booking photo, was well known to Nashua Police, who arrested him in 2015 on a riot charge related to a melee that left one man shot and again in 2016 on three counts related to the sale of marijuana, all as his second such offenses.
In 2009, then listed as a Lynn resident, Menendez pleaded guilty to reckless conduct and was sentenced to a year in jail for accidentally shooting his girlfriend in Nashua, costing her part of a finger.
Innocent, etc.
