Following a reported shooting incident in Roxbury, Boston Police have arrested 48-year-old Dorchester resident Natalie Sierra on multiple firearms offenses. The Boston Police Department's official release states that the incident occurred on Sunday, with officers arriving at 141 Intervale Street around 12:36 PM after receiving a 911 call about gunshots. Sierra, who matched the suspect's description provided to authorities, was apprehended on Magnolia Street, near the scene.
According to the Boston Police Department, Law enforcement discovered a loaded firearm inside a black zippered case discarded behind a vehicle, an area near where Sierra was detained. The official report confirms the weapon in question was a Smith & Wesson .22 Caliber containing two live rounds and one expended. After being found, Sierra was "immediately stopped and quickly placed into handcuffs."
Charges facing Sierra include unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm without a permit, discharging a weapon within 500 feet of a dwelling, and assault with a dangerous weapon. Boston Police Department's District B-2 detectives were called in to process the evidence at the scene. The detainee is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court related to these charges.
