Shooting suspect in Braintree Mall shooting arrested
Officers of the Braintree Police, Boston Police, Massachusetts State Police Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and Gang Unit, and US Marshal Service, arrested Julius Hammond-Desir for shooting and killing Dijoun Beasley in January at the South Shore Plaza.
Braintree Police say that while inside the Forever 21 store at the mall, Hammond-Desir approached the victim, brandished a firearm and fired. The victim was transported to a Boston area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Samantha Schwartz of Attleboro pleaded not guilty late last month after being accused of being an accessory-after-the-fact of the murder.
Hammond-Desir’s arraignment in Quincy District Court is expected as soon as late morning today, dependent on court process. At this hour his arrest is being processed at the Braintree Police Department.
