Both suspects face murder charges, the Boston Police Department said.
Boston police arrested two teenagers accused of killing a Dorchester man in a shooting, the department said in a statement.
Leudis Mejia Sanchez, 49, died of injuries he sustained during the shooting on August 12, the department said.
BPD arrested a 17-year-old for Sanchez’s murder just before 10 a.m. on Wednesday, a statement from the department said. At the time of the minor’s arrest, police said, he was wanted on a warrant for murder charges. Authorities arrested another suspect, 18-year-old Manuel Guerrero, on Sept. 9. Court documents show Guerrero is being held without bail. No attorney information was listed.
Police responded to reports of two people shot inside a Dorchester home at 6:42 p.m. on Aug. 12, the department said. Officers said they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. Both victims were transported to the hospital, where, police say, Sanchez died of his injuries. The other victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
