I live nearby and when driving out of the neighborhood I was so impressed to see about 15 police & transit police cars in the noted area at 3:30 or so. The response was immense and made me feel safer living here. That house always appears to have less than desirable tenants & gang hanging out on the front porch. This should send a message though.
Thank you Boston Police!

land lords are afriad to say any thing or do anything in fear of thier own lives,they can’t even pick up their own rent checks in fear of there lives from this type of tenant.

Those are section 8 houses, the landlord is a loaded moneybag in Weston who owns several properties like that one, gets a nice fat check from the city every month and couldn’t care less about what goes on at the house. Below is his contact information:

My Van Nguyen
70 Meadowbrook Rd
Weston, MA 02493-2406
(781) 647-9227

Sorry for the loss. But why are we blaming the landlord? That sounds kind of stupid to me. This liberal mindset where its everyone elses fault but the people responsible it out of control. The city/state pays out millions each year for section 8 housing without having much protocol or supervision. If I owned a 2 or 3 family home and could be guaranteed a monthly check, I would do the same thing. The alternative is renting to the same people, and having them stiff you month after month.

Has the person in custody been charged for this?

Not as of yet….I was at the scene as I live in the neighborhood and I watched them take 7 males into custody but they said nobody has been charged YET! And to the person who asked “Why are we blaming the landlord”?….we are not blaming him for the shooting itself we are blaming him for allowing these people to conduct illegal activity at that house day in and day out and doing NOTHING to hold his tenants accountable. it’s no coincidence that the police found these men in the same house that they get called to several times a week!

That’s not a section 8 house, it’s a dump owned by a slumlord (My Van Nguyen on Weston, MA) who also owns a bunch of similar run-down houses on dot ave and rents them out to thugs, most likely for cash, while dragging down property values for the entire neighborhood. We have every right to blame him, hope the feds get him for tax evasion.

Today is not about landlord, houses, neighborhoods or even people who are so depleted of humanity that they could create this violence. Today it is about parents, siblings, family and friends who are morning the death of a young man. Today is not a day to cast stones, and it is too late for what if. Today is a day for compassion a day to be a help in time of trouble.

very annoying that ther have been no news updates or arrests
