DA Identifies Suspect, Files Charges After Brockton Police Shootout

An arraignment is expected next, with state police processing evidence from the scene.

Overview

  • The pursuit, which began early Sunday after officers spotted a 2025 white Lexus tied to a prior gunshots probe, ended when the car spun out at Moraine and Spring streets.
  • Prosecutors say the driver, 44-year-old Jailson Manuel Andrade of Brockton, got out and fired over his car roof at two officers, who returned fire and struck him in the shoulder.
  • A 71-year-old man sleeping in a nearby home was grazed by a bullet that came through a wall and mattress, and he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.
  • Investigators recovered a handgun with an obliterated serial number at 115 Moraine Street, and state police forensic units are examining evidence as they work to determine whose round hit the resident.
  • Andrade is in police custody at a Boston hospital and faces counts including assault to murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and several weapons and motor vehicle charges, with criminal complaints obtained Monday and arraignment pending.
