NO BAIL FOR 16-YEAR-OLD ALLEGED GUNMAN

A Dorchester youth was held without bail today following his arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court for the murder of 49-year-old Fred Bing, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

DAMANTE BURRELL (D.O.B. 9/5/92) was indicted yesterday and arrested today for Bing’s fatal shooting on the night of May 13. His body was recovered early the next morning in a driveway on Wilcock Street, where gunshots had been reported several hours earlier.

Clerk Magistrate Gary D. Wilson accommodated a request by Assistant District Attorney Ian Polumbaum of Conley’s Homicide Unit to hold Burrell without bail.

Polumbaum told the court that evidence developed in the course of a two-month by Boston Police on the street and Suffolk prosecutors in the grand jury identified Burrell as the individual who fired multiple shots from a motor vehicle, striking Bing three times and causing the injuries that killed him.

“His friends thought he had jumped the fence and gone home,” Polumbaum said of Bing, who had been present on Wilcock Street but was not scene after the gunfire scattered a crowd.

Polumbaum also said that Burrell, who is in Department of Youth Services custody, was wearing a GPS ankle bracelet in connection with a juvenile case at the time of Bing’s homicide. That bracelet, Polumbaum told Wilson, “put him on Wilcock Street” at the time of the shooting.

Burrell will return to court on Aug. 18 with attorney J.W. Carney, Jr.
