BOSTON, MA — Police arrested and charged two men in connection to what they are calling a "brazen daylight shooting" that resulted in the death of a 20-year-old man in Dorchester in June.

Keith Cousins, 30, of Boston was arrested in Marietta, GA, and Shaquille Brown, 22, of Mattapan, is currently incarcerated on an unrelated matter. Both will be charged with the murder of Christopher Austin of Boston.

On June 28, 9:57 a.m., police responded to the Ashmont Street for a report of a person shot. Officers found a male victim, later identified as Austin. He was transported to a hospital where he died several days later.

"I cannot commend my officers enough for the work they continue to do to solve these kinds of troubling cases," Boston Police Commissioner Williams Evans said. "I’ve always said that we never forget a victim, their families or their loved ones. I hope that as we continue to identify and arrest those responsible for these senseless crimes, we’ll be able to bring some measure of comfort to all those still left hurting."
