BOSTON, May 6, 2016—The last of three men charged in the 2014 shooting deaths of Clarence McGregor and Teasia Montgomery has been apprehended in Georgia and faces rendition to Massachusetts, where his co-defendants were ordered held without bail last month.

Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans and Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley today announced the arrest of LORENZO JONES, Jr. (D.O.B. 12/26/86) in Augusta, Georgia, on a warrant stemming from his March 29 indictment for two counts of first-degree murder and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Two other men have also been indicted for McGregor’s and Montgomery’s Jan. 27, 2014, homicides. STEVEN STEPHEN (D.O.B. 4/3/90) and TONY EVANS (D.O.B. 1/15/91) are both charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm. They have been held without bail since their April 14 arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court. Evans was apprehended in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Stephen was already in custody on an unrelated gun offense.

All three defendants have prior convictions for firearms offenses. Evans most recently served four years in prison for a 2009 gun arrest in Dorchester; Jones served two and a half years for an unrelated 2009 gun arrest in Dorchester; and Stephen served 18 months for a 2008 gun arrest in Roxbury.

The indictments and arrests came after an extensive investigation by Boston Police homicide detectives and Suffolk prosecutors into the facts and circumstances surrounding the Jan. 27, 2014, homicides of McGregor, age 25, and Montgomery, age 29, in Mattapan.

Boston Police responded to shots fired in the area of 92 Rosewood St. at about 2:45 that morning to find both victims suffering from life-threatening injuries: McGregor was lying in the roadway and Montgomery was on the sidewalk about 15 yards away. The two were transported to area hospitals, where they died of their injuries.

Evans, Jones, and Stephen were identified as suspects through ballistics at the scene, witness statements, cell tower records, and other evidence carefully and methodically gathered during the past two years. Police and prosecutors say the victims were the intended targets of the shootings.

Jones sustained a gunshot injury during an unrelated incident late last year that may affect his ability to travel, and his return to Boston for arraignment has not yet been scheduled. Steven and Evans will return to court on May 31 with attorneys Robert Wheeler and Kevin Durden.
