Memorial Drive, Cambridge shooting suspect, Tyler Brown’s criminal record revealed details of his previous arrest.
According to Fox News, outrage erupted online following a chaotic police-involved shooting in Massachusetts on Monday, May 11, with critics pointing to the suspected gunman’s criminal history after authorities said he opened fire along a busy roadway.
Video shared by FOX 25 Boston appears to show the suspect, identified by Middlesex County District Attorney Marian T. Ryan as Tyler Brown, walking down the street while firing as cars pass nearby, prompting a heavy law enforcement response.
The station reported the video shows the suspect being shot, though the portion of the footage it shared does not include that moment.
Massachusetts State Police said troopers responded around 1:20 pm to a shooting involving law enforcement in the area of Memorial Drive and River Street.
Brown allegedly shot two men in separate vehicles, firing upwards of 60 rounds within "a very short period of time." The two victims are being treated at area hospitals with life-threatening injuries, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan said.
Furthermore as per reports, Brown has a criminal history spanning nearly two decades, citing court records tied to a man with the same name and date of birth that include prior firearm and drug convictions.
In 2020, Brown fired multiple rounds at Boston police officers while already on probation in a separate case.
Reaction to Brown’s reported criminal history quickly spread online, with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy writing on social media that "the judge who let this guy off easy should go to prison."
