Yesterday, two individuals, Jahmone Hector-Smith, 22, of Dedham, and Shukor Grady, 18, of Mattapan, were arrested in Dorchester during a traffic stop conducted by Boston's Youth Violence Strike Force. The arrest followed the discovery of a firearm in the suspects' vehicle.

The Boston Police Department report reveals that the officers were alerted to the suspects' vehicle due to an object seen discarded from the window. On conducting an exit order and search of the vehicle, officers found a loaded Citadel .45 caliber handgun with a defaced serial number.

Hector-Smith and Grady are now facing criminal charges related to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, as well as possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number. They are scheduled for arraignment at Dorchester District Court.
