2 Charged In Shooting At Denzel Washington Movie Set In Boston

ROXBURY, MA – Two 18-year-old men have been charged in a double shooting at a Boston movie set last weekend. Dionte Martinez, of Boston, and Thomas Perkins, of Quincy, were arrested Thursday, five days after they allegedly shot two people in the area of 25 Whittier Street in Roxbury.

According to the Boston Herald, the victims were two security guards working on the set of the sequel to "The Equalizer," starring Denzel Washington. Both guards, who the Herald identified as a 40-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man, sustained non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The shooting was reported around 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 30, Boston police said in a press release. A search for two men seen fleeing the area came up empty, but officers did find two guns dumped by the suspects as they fled the scene, according to police.

The guards do not appear to have been targeted, police told the Herald.

Martinez and Perkins face charges of assault with intent to murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.
