Looks like something went down in Mattapan this evening. About eight or ten cruisers circling the area, blocking off streets, etc..


Morton St./Lorna Rd. area.

This is FALSE. In 1999, the city had 31 homicides vs. this year's 37.
That is an impressively low number for a major city! I welcome this news about our relatively low numbers this year.

Just using math here:
Chicago had 617 homicides in 2023 per 2.8 million is 1 in 4,500
Boston had 37 homicides in 2023 per 700k is 1 in 19,000
This means that Boston is roughly 420% safer than Chicago

Teen charged with sexually assaulting another teen and threatening her with a knife at Forest Hills

"Transit Police report a 14-year-old-girl told officers she was sexually assaulted and threatened with a knife around 4 p.m. on Monday at Forest Hills. The next day, a teen, too young to be named because of his age, was arrested for the attack, police say."
