BOSTON —A woman is dead and a man is in custody following a motor vehicle crash and subsequent carjacking in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday afternoon. Ibraim Matos, 37, of Hyde Park, was charged with murder, carjacking, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in personal injury. He is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Monday. According to Boston police, officers responded to the 1600 block of Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan for a report of a pedestrian hit by a car around 2 p.m. Witnesses told News Center 5 the woman was dragged, before the driver continued down the street. The pedestrian, a woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her identity is not being released at this time. Investigators said a man, later identified as Matos, was involved in a car crash at Woodhaven and Blue Hill Avenue. He allegedly stole another vehicle near a car wash, according to witnesses, and drove south on Blue Hill Avenue. Workers at the wash allegedly also tried to stop the carjacker. Matos then struck the victim at Fairway Street and Blue Hill Avenue, according to police. Several vehicles, including an MBTA bus, were also damaged. Witnesses said a group of people grabbed the man out of the car, and held him down until police got there. “They were running in and calling the cops, someone hit a lady over there,” said Jay, who works at a convenience store next to where the woman was struck. “You ain’t going nowhere,” one witness said. Traffic in the area remained closed off to motorists and drivers until 9 p.m. on Saturday. Matos was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries, officers said. ]]> Mon 22 Jun 2026 22:32:57 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616848/a-woman-was-killed-in-boston-after-a-carjacking-suspect-hit-her-with-the-stolen-car/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616024/courthouse-brawl-in-massachusetts-5-arrested/
Five people are facing charges after a courthouse brawl was captured by surveillance cameras Wednesday morning in Boston, Massachusetts. The video shows multiple people walking in the hallway at Dorchester District Court before one person rushes over to punch another, and the brawl ensues. Boston Police said its officers were alerted to the fight, and by the time officers arrived, the fight was over, with law enforcement from multiple agencies still attempting to separate the involved individuals. The five suspects were then moved to the courthouse holding area, according to Boston Police. That’s when officers say one suspect kicked another while handcuffed, before attempting to spit on him. Boston police said the spit missed, and an officer was spat on instead. Those arrested range in age from 17 to 20 years old. All are charged with affray and disrupting court proceedings, while the 17-year-old faces additional charges of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and assault and battery on a police officer. ]]> Mon 25 May 2026 20:01:34 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616024/courthouse-brawl-in-massachusetts-5-arrested/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615130/boston-celtics-fans-jumped-a-76ers-supporter-right-after-losing-game-7/
