REVERE, Mass. — Law enforcement officials have apprehended a 19-year-old individual in connection with a shooting incident that took place near Revere Beach during Memorial Day weekend. Deshawn Teleau, a resident of Malden, was taken into custody by Revere police on multiple charges, including assault and battery with a firearm as well as carrying a loaded firearm.
The shooting transpired on May 28, shortly after 7 p.m., in the vicinity of Shirley and Centennial avenues, close to Revere Beach. Video footage of the incident depicts a group engaged in a physical altercation when a man wearing shorts and a sleeveless white shirt brandishes a firearm and discharges several rounds.
