The Boston Police Department is reminding holiday revelers that this year’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade route is different than in previous years and to plan their transportation accordingly.
The parade, scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, will be going in a reverse direction along the historical route and will use East Sixth Street instead of East Fifth Street.
Here is the parade route: Beginning at Andrew Square, the parade will proceed up Dorchester Street, turn right onto Telegraph Street, turn right around Thomas Park, take a left on G Street, turn right onto 6th Street, left on K Street, right on 4th Street, left on P Street, left on East Broadway, bearing right onto West Broadway, and ending after a right onto A Street.
“People attending the parade are strongly encouraged to walk, bike, or take public transit,” the BPD says.
Police-shot carjacking suspect identified
The man shot and killed by Boston Police Wednesday was identified Saturday as Stephenson King, 39, of Dorchester.
Police say they responded to a carjacking and assault call at around 9:45 p.m. Wednesday. At the scene, Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said, police issued “many, many commands where the person did not comply,” and instead allegedly tried to ram officers with the stolen car.
It was not clear how many officers fired or how many shots were fired. Officers involved were placed on administrative leave as the incident is investigated by the Suffolk DA’s office.

BPD responded to 440 incidents in the 48-hour period ending at 10 a.m. Saturday, according to the department’s incident log. Those included one robbery, seven aggravated assaults, one commercial burglary, two residential burglaries, six thefts from a vehicle, nine stolen vehicles, and 37 instances of miscellaneous larceny.
