BOSTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- A man suspected in a quadruple killing in Boston was arrested in New Hampshire, police said Saturday.
Kimani Washington, 35, of Boston was taken into custody Friday when about two dozen police officers stormed a Manchester, N.H., apartment where he had been hiding, The Boston Globe reported.
Boston police said they would bring Washington back to Massachusetts to face two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of ammunition and marijuana, and one count of receiving a stolen motor vehicle. Washington was not charged with the Tuesday shootings on a Boston street that left four people dead and a fifth wounded, the Globe said.
"We've reached a critical stage in this investigation," Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said. "This arrest by no means reflects the end of our efforts. That won't come until murder charges are filed, the evidence is aired, and a verdict is returned in a Suffolk County courtroom."
Killed in the shooting spree were Eyanna Flonory, 21, her 2-year-old son, Amanihotep Smith, Simba Martin, Flonory's 21-year-old boyfriend, and Levaughn Washum-Garrison, 22.
Marcus Hurd was hospitalized with a bullet wound to his head.
Washington has served time in prison for drugs and assault convictions, his stepfather said. Police haven't divulged a motive for the slayings but say Washington knew the victims.
