Man charged with violent armed robbery outside South Boston Burger King; second suspect remains at large

A Framingham man was arraigned today on charges related to a Nov. 16 stickup of two hearing-impaired people outside the Burger King at 280 West Broadway in South Boston - which the Suffolk County District Attorney's office says resulted in one of the victims suffering a stroke.

Christopher Jimenez-Nunez, 19, was charged in South Boston Municipal Court with armed robbery with both a gun and a knife and two counts of assault and battery for the incident, the DA's office reports.

Jimenez-Nunez already had a separate open case in South Boston court from October 23 on charges of armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon.

Prosecutors asked that his bail on his earlier case be revoked. however, Judge John McDonald Jr. ordered him released on personal recognizance and home confinement, with an exception for going to work, the DA's office says.

According to the DA's office, around 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, the victims were walking down West Broadway when two men walked out of the Burger King and pointed both a knife and a gun at them. Speaking to police through a sign-language interpreter:

The first victim said one suspect, later identified as Jimenez-Nunez, pointed a knife at her stomach and pulled her hair while removing two IPads from her backpack. The second suspect, later identified as Chance Morgan, pointed a gun at the second victim, placed him in a chokehold, and grabbed his fanny pack containing his cell phone, an Apple watch, and $200 in cash. Both Jimenez-Nunez and Morgan fled the scene.

The second victim reported he was also hit on the forehead and suffered a stroke after the incident due to fear. The victims were unable to call for help until they got home due to the thefts. EMS arrived and transported the victims to a local hospital for treatment.

Morgan remains at large, the DA's office says.

Innocent, etc.
