Tynigel Belgrave, 26, of Boston, was arrested by members of the Youth Violence Strike Force on firearm-related charges at approximately 10:18 PM on Friday, April 19, 2024. The arrest occurred in the vicinity of Washington Street and Erie Street, following a traffic stop initiated by officers who noticed a speeding motor vehicle.
During the traffic stop, officers observed what appeared to be a firearm grip in plain view inside the vehicle. A subsequent pat frisk led to the discovery of a Glock 26 firearm with ammunition. Both occupants were initially handcuffed, but after investigation, the second individual was released from the scene.
Belgrave faces charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device. He is set to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court following his arrest.
