On May 27, Barnstable police received a call reporting multiple gunshots on Craigville Beach Road at 8:20 p.m., according to police logs. Officers arrived on the scene around five minutes later. One individual was cut by broken glass and sustained minor injuries, police said in a release at the time. No serious injuries or deaths were reported.

Since the incident, police have conducted a lengthy investigation. On June 27, they charged the same 16-year-old with another shooting, a drive-by on June 25 on Main Street in Hyannis. In a meeting with concerned residents of Hyannis on June 6, police chief Matthew Sonnabend said that police suspect the 16-year-old had been the shooter in the June 25 shooting, but not the one on May 27.

“We don’t believe he was the shooter,” Sonnabend said July 6 of the Craigville Beach incident. “But he was involved, he was there. Which is leading to the identification of more people to be arrested. We’ve already arrested a handful of individuals but we’re working on more.”

The 16-year-old was arraigned on June 27 in Barnstable Juvenile Court on charges in both incidents, according to a release from the Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office at the time.

Barnstable police asked residents on Wednesday to report to the department any additional information regarding the Craigville Beach shooting.
