Allston Village murder

I don’t know of anything to say about this at this point other than that it’s extremely unfortunate. Things in the neighborhood have been entirely too knifey lately.
On Sunday, November 8, 2009, at approximately 2:16am, a Boston Police Officer, assigned out of Area D-14 (Brighton), was patrolling in the area of Brighton Avenue at Harvard Avenue when his attention was drawn to several people in the area. The officer spoke with a couple of the individuals and learned that there was a man down on the ground in front of the convenience store located at 157 Brighton Avenue.
The officer made his way to the unconscious victim and observed him to be suffering from an apparent stab wound. The officer immediately called for assistance and began C.P.R. Boston EMS arrived and transported the victim to Beth Israel Hospital where he was pronounced.
At this time, the victim is only being described as a twenty-four-year-old, black male.
And of course, as Adam points out, this isn’t Brighton. This also isn’t a remotely scary intersection, I can’t believe that nobody saw what happened. We’ll have to wait for details.
UPDATE: more information from BPD tonight, apparently they think they have someone involved but not the prime actor. Charges of course are alleged at this point.
As a result of investigation undertaken at the scene, and information received from witnesses on scene, officers arrested suspect, Corey D. Patterson, 23, of Dorchester and charged him with Accessory to Murder after the Fact, several counts of Assault and Battery by Means of a Dangerous Weapon, Assault and Battery on a Police Officer, and Resisting Arrest.
The Boston Police Homicide Unit continues to actively investigate this incident. Anyone with information related to this matter is strongly urged to contact the Boston Police Homicide Unit at 617-343-4470.

Wow, and at 2:16 in the morning the streets should have been packed with people emptying out of the bars…
