Crime
The Boston man is facing multiple felony charges and pleaded not guilty, court records show.
A Boston man was arrested in relation to a Dorchester shooting that left one injured earlier this month, police announced Friday.
Chivaugn Nettles, 21, faces multiple felony charges, including assault and battery by discharge of a firearm, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm without a license, according to a statement from the Boston Police Department.
Nettles was taken into custody at his home “without incident” following an investigation that involved the review of surveillance footage and the execution of search warrants on both a Huntington Avenue home and a suspect vehicle, police said.

The shooting occurred around 1:20 a.m. on May 13 near 25 Dacia St. During an investigation, officers located shell casings, projectile fragments, and “two small blood trails” along a building, according to a police report.
Residents at both 25 and 33 Dacia St. were found to be not hurt, though one person sustained “nonlife-threatening injuries,” police said.
During his arraignment Friday in the Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court, Nettles entered a plea of not guilty to all charges, according to court records. He is being held without bail until a dangerousness hearing set for Wednesday morning.
