Brookline Police Arrest 2, Detail Wednesday's Mayhem

Update, Feb. 1, 3:44 p.m.: An arrest warrant has been issued for a 24-year-old male from Cambridge in relation to the incident.

Brookline police have made two arrests in Wednesday’s shooting and stabbing mayhem.

Antonio Brown Jr., 27, of Cambridge and Khari Wilcox, 18, of Dorchester, were placed under arrest at about 10:30 Wednesday night, Brookline Police Chief David O’Leary said at a Thursday afternoon press conference at police headquarters.

At least one more person is believed to have been involved in the incident and remains at large.

Wilcox pled not guilty to five felony charges at a hospital arraignment at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Thursday and was ordered held without bail. Brown was medically unavailable for arraignment.

The charges included: home invasion; armed assault in a dwelling; armed assault to murder; armed assault to rob; and carrying a firearm without a license.

Normally docile Brookline became a place of chaos early Wednesday afternoon, when police received reports of multiple gunshot and stab victims. Police said afterward that they found a man in an apartment at 198 St. Paul Street suffering from gunshot and stab wounds, and two other men who were were either thrown or fell out of a vehicle in front of 75 Harvard Street.

The Norfolk District Attorney’s office issued a release detailing what allegedly took place.

According to the release, Wilcox, Brown and the unknown accomplice or accomplices allegedly entered the St. Paul Street apartment armed with a gun and piece of lumber, shouting at the occupant about the whereabouts of money. The suspects allegedly bludgeoned the occupant with what is believed to have been a 2 x 4.

The occupant then managed to arm himself with a knife with which he was alleged to have used against his attackers.

Police believe the alleged assailant carrying the gun then opened fire, hitting both the occupant and one of his accomplices.

The suspects then retreated from the building and into an escape vehicle. One of the unknown accomplices then allegedly dumped Wilcox and Brown from the escape vehicle on Harvard Street.

The victim at St. Paul Street was targeted and renting a room, O’Leary said Thursday. An officer’s tourniquet likely saved the man’s life, O’Leary said. He is recovering at another hospital.

Police carried out a search warrant in the St. Paul Street apartment Wednesday. O’Leary said that evidence from that apartment and from the abandoned escape vehicle Brown Jr. and Washington exited helped police make their arrests.

Police released Wednesday images and the New York Plates of the escape vehicle - a white Ford Focus rented in New Jersey. The vehicle was found abandoned Wednesday night.
