Authorities revealed that the 17-year-old male, who remains unnamed due to his minor status, is purportedly involved in the rigorous criminal activity surrounding the wildfire.
Prosecutors allege the teen and two other male accomplices entered a home on Weld Street in West Roxbury around 1 p.m. Nov. 17, prompting a man inside the home to seek refuge in a second-floor bedroom. The teen and his purported accomplices followed, one of them allegedly pulling out a handgun and the two others brandishing knives, according to the DA's office.
