Two people were arrested Friday in connection with a deadly Allston shooting that claimed the life of a 15-year-old boy who was shot on June 12, 2025. The suspects, 26-year-old Armani Collazos and 22-year-old Miranda Bodden, are now facing a slate of serious charges tied to the violence.
According to Boston 25 News, Collazos is charged with first-degree murder, four counts of armed assault to murder and multiple firearm-related offenses. Bodden is charged with five counts of accessory after the fact. Both are scheduled to be arraigned Friday, June 26, 2026, in Suffolk Superior Court, Boston 25 News reported.
Officers responding to a call around 8:10 p.m. on June 12, 2025, found the 15-year-old outside 7 Pomeroy St with an apparent gunshot wound, and Boston EMS rushed him to a local hospital, according to the Boston Police Department. He was pronounced dead on June 17, 2025, as reported by Boston.com.
Hoodline covered the killing and its impact on the neighborhood last year. Our June 20, 2025 story, our earlier coverage of the Pomeroy Street shooting, detailed the early stages of the investigation and the community’s grief. This latest arrest announcement is the first time suspects have been publicly named in the case since that report.
What the charges mean
First-degree murder is the Commonwealth’s most serious homicide charge and can carry a life sentence. “Armed assault to murder” covers allegations that a defendant used a weapon with the intent to kill. The elements of those charges, along with the state’s model jury instructions, are outlined on Mass.gov.
The Boston Police Homicide Unit is continuing to investigate. Anyone with information is urged to call (617) 343-4470 or share tips anonymously through CrimeStoppers. We will update this story as court filings and official records become available.
