Boston Police report charging a Hyde Park teen with murdering a man in his 20s around 10:30 a.m. on Centre Street near the Arborway, then opening fire on an officer who started chasing him.

Boston Police report the murder happened outside 891 Centre St., near the Arborway rotary.

Steve Abreu, who took the photo, reports he heard four shots, saw one suspect, wearing a dark coat and pants, flee down Aldworth Street.

Police say:

Officers pursued two individuals on foot and were fired upon by at least one of the individuals as they fled the scene. Officers continued pursuit without regard for their own safety and subsequently were able to detain two individuals a short distance from the scene.

Two men were captured. Josiah Zachery, 18, of Hyde Park, was charged with murder, unlawful possession of a firearm and assault with a dangerous weapon on a police officer.

WCVB reports the murdered man was shoveling snow as part of a program run by Roca, which provides work programs for "young people that are involved in crime, engaged in dangerous behaviors, have rejected help, have dropped out of school, and are simply too difficult for other programs to serve."

Ironically, about three hours after the murder, city councilors singled Roca out for praise and expressed the hope the city could work more closely with the group. However, at that point, it was possible none of the councilors knew of the Roca link.
