The Boston Herald is reporting that a large contingency of D Street/Latin Kings gang associates, including at least six known gang members, were shooting a music video at Orton Field near the D Street Housing Development. One person was arrested for having a loaded firearm.
From BPD News:
At about 7:35 PM on Tuesday, August 16, 2022, Members of the Youth Violence Strike Force conducted an investigation in the area of 200 D Street, which led to a firearm arrest of Junior Martinez-Perello, 23, of Boston.
Based on an active investigation, officers became aware that a large group was filming a video in the area of D Street and believed that a member of the group might be armed with a firearm. As officers approached the group, a male, identified as Martinez-Perello, immediately began to walk away from the group. Officers stopped Martinez-Perello and conducted a pat-frisk of his person. Officers felt a hard metallic object consistent with a firearm. As officers attempted to remove the firearm, a violent struggle ensued in which Martinez-Perello made multiple attempts to maintain control of the firearm and refused multiple commands to release his grip on the firearm. Officers eventually placed Martinez-Perello in custody and recovered a loaded firearm.
Following the arrest, a large and unruly crowd began to form and required the response of additional units from multiple districts to secure the scene safely.
The firearm recovered was determined to be a .40 caliber Smith and Wesson with one (1) live round in the chamber and ten (10) rounds in the magazine.
Junior Martinez-Perrello will be charged in South Boston District Court with Unlawful Possession of a firearm, Carrying a loaded firearm, Unlawful Possession of ammunition, Possession of a large capacity feeding device, and resisting arrest.

Of the ‘D Street’ Martinez-Perello’s??
Ya don’t say….
So we live in a city where a young Latin X can’t express himself artistically in a video without overly aggressive repressive policing, Defund Dunkin Donuts !
Couldn’t disagree Timbo, except for that stupid made up phrase (no pun intended) made up by idiotic Libtards referring to me and mine as Latinx or Latin X!!! There’s no such thing. We are all Latinos. So please get it right sir. Thank you.
