"Boston officers responded to the reported carjacking near 1500 Tremont St. around 9:45 p.m. on March 11 and tracked down a vehicle matching the description near 10 Linwood Square, Commissioner Michael Cox previously told reporters. According to Cox, the suspect - later identified as King - did not heed the officers' commands and instead accelerated, hitting a police cruiser in the process."
"Nicholas O'Malley, 33, was arrested Thursday morning and will be arraigned later in the day at the Boston Municipal Court Roxbury Division, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said. He's charged in connection with the death of Stephenson King, 39, of Dorchester."
"Two Boston city councilors, Miniard Culpepper and Brian Worrell, have also called for police to release body-worn camera footage of the shooting in a push for greater transparency."
