Adult, juvenile, charged with assault to murder in targeted Hyannis shooting
Authorities arrested two suspects in connection with a targeted shooting in Hyannis over the weekend.
Chrystian Anderson, 20, of Rockland, is charged with assault to murder with a firearm, assault, and battery with a firearm, and several other firearm-related offenses.
A 16-year-old boy is charged for his role in the attempted murder. Similarly, he was also charged and arraigned in Barnstable Juvenile Court for his role in a shooting at Craigville Beach last month.
Officers responding to the area of Main Street and High School Road around 4:30 p.m. on June 25 found a man that had been shot in the legs, according to Barnstable Police. He was flown to a Boston area hospital where officials say he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
A follow-up investigation determined the suspect’s car fled the scene of the shooting and crashed into two uninvolved cars nearby. Anderson and the 16-year-old allegedly fled that scene on foot.
Police say video surveillance played a big part in identifying the shooting suspects.
Anderson was arrested Wednesday afternoon while the juvenile was arrested on Tuesday.
Anderson was arraigned in Barnstable District Court Thursday morning.
