DORCHESTER TEEN HELD FOR QUADRUPLE SHOOTING

A 19-year-old Dorchester youth was held on high bail and had his open bail for an unrelated offense revoked following his arraignment on charges that he shot and wounded four people outside a Blue Hill Avenue tavern early this morning, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

CHARKEEM HYATT, a.k.a. CHARKEM HYATT, a.k.a. MAURICE MATTOCKS (D.O.B. 12/10/89) was arraigned this afternoon on four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, three counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and single counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm, discharging a firearm within 500’ of a building, and resisting arrest.

Assistant District Attorney Jonathan Tynes, the chief prosecutor at the Roxbury courthouse, recommended that Hyatt be held on half a million dollars’ cash bail and have his bail on an open assault and battery case revoked; Judge Edward Redd accommodated the revocation request and set the defendant’s bail at $200,000. Redd further ordered that Hyatt be placed on a GPS monitor and be confined to his home if he posts that bail.

Boston Police officers working paid details at Packy Connor’s Pub heard multiple gunshots from across the street shortly before 2:00 this morning. They – along with an off-duty Boston Police officer – observed Hyatt allegedly shooting at three females and one male victim.

As the officers gave chase, Hyatt allegedly fled down Blue Hill Avenue and onto Ingleside Street in violation of their commands to stop. As he continued to run, Hyatt allegedly raised a firearm and pointed it in the officers’ direction. Officers at this time discharged their duty firearms but did not strike the defendant. Hyatt continued to run and was apprehended a short time later on a Woodcliff Street porch.

The 23-year-old male victim was struck in the right leg. Two female victims, ages 20 and 24, were struck in the leg, and a third female victim, age 25, was struck in the upper back. All four were transported to area hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Hyatt will return to court on Aug. 14 with attorney Deborah Shopteese.
