In the early morning hours of Monday, August 28th, three suspects were arrested in connection with the possession of a firearm and an attempted armed robbery in Boston's South End.
The incident unfolded when police received a call about a person wielding a gun near 1252 Washington Street.
The suspects, identified as Ahmed Doumbia, 21, Alpha Bah, 22, both from Dorchester, and Souleymane Barry-Diallo, 29, of Roslindale, were apprehended after officers quickly responded to the scene, locating the suspects' vehicle and conducting a routine traffic stop, according to Boston Police Department.
Upon initiating the traffic stop at the intersection of Melnea Cass Boulevard and Washington Street, officers proceeded to make contact with all three occupants, instructing them to exit the vehicle.
As per the official report, a pat frisk was performed to reveal a Smith and Wesson CTGE firearm with six rounds in the chamber inside the vehicle. The discovery of the weapon led to the swift arrest of all three suspects who now face charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, and Armed Robbery.
The suspects arrested are expected to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court in the coming days.
