Warrant Issued for Third Suspect In Last Week's Shooting, Stabbing

BROOKLINE, MA - Brookline Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of a 24-year-old man from Cambridge in relation to last week’s shooting and stabbing incident, police wrote on social media Monday.

Two people have already been arrested for the shooting and stabbing mayhem that occurred on Jan. 27. 

Antonio Brown Jr., 27, of Cambridge and Khari Wilcox, 18, of Dorchester, were placed under arrest on the night of the incident, Brookline Police Chief David O’Leary said in a press conference at police headquarters last Thursday.

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 last 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 last week detailing what allegedly took place.

According to the release, Wilcox, Brown and a 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 allegedly 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 last Thursday. An officer’s tourniquet likely saved the man’s life, O’Leary said.
