Detectives from the Boston Police Department's District B-2 issued a community alert, hoping that civic engagement will help bring justice for an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon case linked to a shoplifting incident.

Mid-September morning, the alleged suspect—a black female wearing a pink sweatshirt, black pants, black Crocs, and carrying a tan bag—was involved in an altercation where coffee was transformed from a simple beverage into a weapon. This incident occurred around 11:36 AM near 300 MLK Boulevard, according to Boston Police Department, who are still reviewing the evidence and details of the event, which now presents a mosaic of fragmented accounts waiting to be pieced together by eyewitnesses or those with relevant information.

Individuals with information that could shed light on this crime are encouraged to contact the District B-2 Detectives at (617) 343-4275. For those who fear exposure, the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1 (800) 494-TIPS is available, as well as the option to text 'TIP' to CRIME (27463).
