Gun-Toting 14-Year-Old Nabbed After Wild 80-Person Party in Roxbury

Police say the 14-year-old was carrying a loaded gun — and two open warrants.

BOSTON — A 14-year-old boy was arrested early Sunday morning after a massive street party in Roxbury ended in a foot chase, a loaded handgun, and a long list of charges.

Just after 2:30AM, officers patrolling near 920 Parker Street spotted a crowd of roughly eighty people blasting music outside the building. Three young males broke away from the group, each repeatedly looking over their shoulders and clutching their waistbands — a red flag police don’t take lightly.

As officers approached, the three took off running. One of them, a 14-year-old juvenile, was chased down and apprehended a block away at 954 Parker Street. Tucked in his waistband, police say, was a Taurus G3 semi-automatic pistol — one round in the chamber, four more in the mag, and a full capacity of seventeen.

The teen was already wanted. Officers discovered two active arrest warrants: one for assault and battery on a police officer, the other for vandalism.

He now faces several new charges in Boston Juvenile Court:

  • Carrying a firearm without a license
  • Possession of a large-capacity firearm
  • Possession of ammunition without an FID card

The arrest is part of a growing pattern in Boston, where gun crimes involving teens are on the rise — and City Hall keeps pretending policy papers can outrun a bullet. While officials roll out pilot programs and host panels, it’s officers are chasing armed 14-year-olds through Roxbury at 2AM and critics say the city’s response has been mostly talk.
