A 25-year-old Boston man who was the subject of an “extensive fugitive investigation” by Boston police for his role in a shooting in Dorchester last September that left five people wounded was held on $2 million bail during his arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court Thursday, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden’s office said.
Micah Ennis is charged with five counts of armed (firearm) assault to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of a firearm, Hayden’s office said.
The charges against Ennis are tied to a shooting at 50 Ames St. on Sept. 17, 2023 where five people were injured, including a young brother and sister, according to Hayden’s office.
Ennis was arrested in Roxbury on Wednesday.
“I’m relieved on behalf of the victims and our entire community that the second suspect in this incredibly brazen shooting is in custody and will answer for his actions,” Hayden said in the statement. “A lot of people were hurt that day in mere seconds, which speaks not only to the callousness of the shooters but also to the firepower they possessed.”
Another man, Gianni Johnson, of Dorchester, was arrested in connection with the shooting in October 2023. Johnson has been held on $1 million bail since his arraignment.
