Two men have been arrested on murder charges in the shooting death of a man last month in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston.
Xavier Pena-Guerrero, 21, of Boston, was arrested Thursday night in Dorchester, the Boston Police Department said Friday. Later that day, police said Orlando Soto, 24, of Boston, had been arrested Friday morning in Newport, Rhode Island.
Both men were wanted on murder warrants in the July 30 death of Moises Ortiz-Santiago at the intersection of Weldon and Quincy streets in Roxbury, police said. Pena-Guerrero is also being charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
Peña-Guerrero must face the charges in Roxbury District Court. Soto’s arrest warrant came from the same court. It was not immediately clear if either man had an attorney who could discuss their arrests.
Ortiz-Santiago was rushed to a hospital after the shooting at about 11 p.m. It was one of several violent incidents Sunday night in Boston, including another deadly shooting on the Dorchester/Roxbury line, a shooting in Dorchester and a triple stabbing also in Dorchester.
