Bystander killed at Roxbury MBTA station after argument over money, DA says
An argument over money preceded the deadly shooting of a bystander in April at Roxbury's Dudley MBTA Station, authorities said on Tuesday. The three people arrested in connection with the shooting were Charles Dixon, 40, of Dorchester; Ellis Santos, 36, of Hyde Park; and Jacqueline Cherisme, 34, of Dorchester, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan's office said in a statement. The three were arraigned on charges linked to the fatal shooting of Andrew Owens, 38, on the night of April 19. Authorities said that Dixon and Santos were involved in an argument about money and that a crowd gathered around the two men. Cherisme had driven Dixon to Dudley Station, and the argument happened after they both got out of the car. 'As Cherisme began to drive away, Dixon allegedly opened fire at Santos from the passenger side window, striking two bystanders,' the district attorney's office said. 'Santos returned fire but did not strike anyone.' Dixon struck Owens, who later died from a gunshot wound, authorities said. The second bystander went to the hospital and was discharged that same night with a bullet still lodged in their hip, according to court records. Police responded to Washington Street in the area of the Dudley MBTA Station due to shots fired at about 11 p.m. on April 19, court records show. They found a man lying on his back suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper right arm. Less than an hour later, he was pronounced dead at Boston Medical Center. Police found 14 spent cartridges on the sidewalk on Washington Street, court records show. Authorities say Cherisme walked into the Boston Police Department a few hours after the shooting and provided a false statement to police about Santos' role in the shooting. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office took over the investigation due to a familial connection between the Boston Police Department and Cherisme, court documents show. 'This case demonstrates the dangerous and life-altering impacts of guns in our communities. Here, the defendants allegedly discharged their firearms without regard for the bystanders in the area. Ultimately, this reckless and brazen conduct led to the injury of an innocent victim and the senseless and tragic death of Andrew Owens,' Ryan said. 'Despite deliberate efforts to mislead law enforcement, investigators remained diligent in identifying and charging those responsible.' State police from Middlesex County applied for, and were granted, arrest warrants for Dixon and Santos. On June 17, police arrested Dixon without incident and charged him with murder, armed assault to murder, attempted assault and battery with a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license and a firearm violation with three prior violent/drug crimes. The next day, state police arrested Santos without incident and charged him with carrying a firearm without a license, carrying a loaded firearm without a license, and a firearm violation with one prior violent/drug crime. On June 26, state police arrested Cherisme in Boston after a grand jury returned a warrant for her arrest. She is charged with accessory after the fact, two counts of witness intimidation, and two counts of withholding evidence from an official proceeding. Dixon was arraigned in Roxbury District Court on June 18 and ordered held without bail. Santos was arraigned in the same court on June 20 and ordered held on a $2,500 bail with a condition to stay away from witnesses and not contact them. Cherisme was arraigned on June 26 in Suffolk Superior Court, where bail was set at $4,000 with the condition of no contact with other defendants or the family of the victim.

Former Mass. firefighter gets prison sentence for using dead 13-year-old's identity for 6 years
A former Massachusetts firefighter and Vietnamese national was sentenced to over two years in prison on Wednesday for stealing the identity of a 13-year-old who died in 2002 and using it to gain employment for six years, the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney's Office announced Thursday. Braintree resident Truong Nguyen, 50, pleaded guilty to passport fraud and aggravated identity theft in March, the U.S. Attorney's office said in a press release. He will be deported upon completion of his prison sentence. Federal authorities began investigating Nguyen after he submitted a passport application using the victim's identification information at a U.S. post office in Weymouth in March 2023, the U.S. Attorney's office said. After reviewing the application and verifying records showing the victim had died, the Boston Passport Agency denied the application and forwarded it and supporting documents Nguyen had submitted to federal law enforcement. A subsequent investigation determined that Nguyen used the victim's identity to obtain and use multiple government-issued identification documents in the victim's name, including Massachusetts driver's licenses and a Social Security card, the U.S. Attorney's office said. He also used the victim's identity to obtain an EMT-Basic Certification in 2021 and an EMT-Paramedic Certification in 2023 before applying for a job as a paramedic.

After graduating, he worked for the Melrose Fire Department until May 2024 when he was arrested. Nguyen was previously investigated by the Massachusetts RMV in August 2018 after it discovered that he had been issued two licenses under different identities — his own and the victim's, the U.S. Attorney's office said. But at the hearing, he convinced RMV officials that the victim's identity was his true identity, resulting in the case being closed with a six-month suspension on the license in the victim's identity and a permanent suspension on the license with his real name. Nguyen originally immigrated to the U.S. in 1979 as a legal permanent resident, but after being convicted of second-degree burglary in 1991, his status was revoked, the U.S. Attorney's office said. It was ordered that he be deported, but the deportation never happened. Nguyen was later arrested in 2010 under the name Truong X. Nguyen and charged with embezzlement and larceny, the U.S. Attorney's office said. In that case, he was accused of stealing over $46,000 from the Norwell Firefighters Union while working as a union officer.
