Overview
- Two Brockton officers tried to stop a white 2025 Lexus in the early hours Sunday, and the chase ended at Moraine and Spring Streets when the car spun out and the driver allegedly fired over the roof of his car.
- The officers returned fire and struck the driver in the shoulder, and officials said no officers were hurt.
- Prosecutors identified the suspect as Jailson Andrade, 44, who remains in custody at a Boston hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and will be arraigned when discharged.
- A 71-year-old man sleeping in a nearby home was grazed by a bullet and released from the hospital, and neighbors reported multiple homes hit by rounds.
- Investigators recovered a handgun with its serial number obliterated, tied the Lexus to an earlier gunshots probe, and filed charges that include two counts of assault to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful firearm and ammunition possession, receiving a defaced-serial-number firearm, discharging a gun near a home, carrying a loaded gun, and several driving offenses.
