A Jamaica Plain man has been arrested in connection with last month’s non-fatal shooting on Centre Street.
On Tuesday, March 2 members of the Boston Police Youth Violence Strike Force, with the help of the Massachusetts State Police, located and arrested Jonathon Lopez, 24, of Jamaica Plain at Boston Logan International Airport.
Lopez was taken into custody on an outstanding warrant issued out of West Roxbury District Court on charges of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, Carrying Loaded Firearm and Discharging a Firearm Within 500 Feet of a Building.
Police took out the warrant for Lopez, which was granted by a West Roxbury District Court judge, following an investigation into a non-fatal shooting last month.
A Jamaica Plain man was arrested and charged with numerous drug offenses following a lengthy investigation by police.
On Jan. 14 officers assigned to Jamaica Plain’s District E-13 Drug Control Unit arrested Osvaldo Medina, 33, of Jamaica Plain, after a brief foot pursuit in the area of 25 Armstrong St. Medina appeared in West Roxbury District Court on charges of Trafficking Class B Drugs (+200 Grams), Distribution of Class A and B Drugs (2nd and Subsequent) and Possession with Intent to Distribute Class D Drugs.
After Medina’s arrest, officers continued their investigation, executing a search warrant at the suspect’s residence, which led to the recovery of over $260,000 in U.S. Currency, approximately 455 grams of cocaine along with several plastic bags of marijuana and other assorted drug paraphernalia.

On the witness stand of a Boston courtroom, police Sergeant Stephen Green outlined the steps that led to a search warrant for an alleged drug dealerâs cellphone, which later led to a trove of incriminating text messages.
The Boston detectiveâs testimony in January 2019 helped seal a conviction and a four- to five-year sentence for drug trafficking.
But Greenâs story, according to new evidence, was untruthful. A forensic investigator determined that Green had been fishing through the phone for more than four hours before applying for a warrant â even at one point watching the defendantâs personal sex videos.
