BOSTON, Nov. 28, 2014—A Revere man was held on high bail today after he was arrested for firing shots during a confrontation over a parking spot, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

JEFFREY MORENO (D.O.B. 1/13/86) was arraigned in Chelsea District Court on four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, two counts of making threats to commit a crime, and one count each of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony.

At the request of Assistant District Attorney Stacey Pichardo, Judge Matthew Machera imposed $50,000 bail and ordered him to stay away from victims and witnesses to the incident and to surrender all firearms and ammunition in the event that he is released on bail.

Revere Police were called to a Fenno Street address shortly after 1:00 a.m. after two guests of a holiday party in the neighborhood entered their vehicle and were confronted by Moreno, who alit from his Cadillac Escalade and ordered the victims to move from a spot on the street near his house. During the confrontation, Moreno yelled at the victims in English and Spanish before retrieving a firearm from his vehicle and firing three shots into the air. He then returned to the victims’ vehicle to yell at them once more before backing into his driveway and entering his home.

Revere Police officers responding to the subsequent call for shots fired were unable to make contact with anyone inside Moreno’s residence and contacted the North Metro SWAT Team for assistance. After several attempts to contact Moreno by telephone and through their cruiser’s PA system, Moreno exited his home and was taken into custody.

A 9 mm Luger shell casing was located in the street directly in front of Moreno’s address, prosecutors said, and the weapon was recovered from his home after Revere Police executed a search warrant.

Moreno was represented for bail purposes only by John Haggerty. He will return to court Dec. 22.?
