Norfolk District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey and Braintree Police Chief Mark Dubois are requesting public assistance in locating a suspect who is wanted for murder.

“A murder arrest warrant has been issued for Julius Hammond-Desir, 19, of Maynard, for shooting and killing Dijoun Beasley at the South Shore Plaza on Saturday, (Jan. 22, 2022),” District Attorney Morrissey said. “Massachusetts State Police Homicide detectives assigned to my office have been working with Braintree Police since the Saturday attack, and we are now in a position to request the public’s assistance.”

Morrissey and Chief Dubois said that Mr. Hammond-Desir may have changed his appearance since the shooting. “The allegations are that Mr. Hammond-Desir shot an unarmed man to death at close range, so we urge you not to approach him but to call 911 if you see him.”

Hammond-Desir was known to reside at 7 Railroad Street in Maynard, Massachusetts. He has been described as 5’5 and of medium build.
