BOSTON — A man wanted in connection with a mass shooting in Boston last year that left five people injured, including a young brother and sister, has been arrested, Boston Police announced.
Micah Ennis, 25, of South Boston, was located and apprehended at 33 Ellingwood St in Roxbury by the Boston Police Fugitive Apprehension Unit on Wednesday, after being a fugitive from the law since September 2023.
Ennis was wanted on warrants charging him with five counts of assault to murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, unlawful possession of a machine gun, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, the Boston police said.
