-- The Roxbury man found shot in Mattapan on July 4 died from his injuries on Tuesday. Michael Wiggins was 22 years old and found near Arbutus and Ashton streets before he was rushed to Boston Medical Center. Police have upgraded the investigation to a murder investigation as a result.
-- Banks are becoming the new candy shoppes: The Bank of America on Cambridge Street was robbed at gunpoint at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, the day after a Sovereign Bank in Brookline was held up. The bank teller told police that the man, described as a white male in an orange shirt, grey shorts and with a gun in his "waist area" (waistband, perhaps?) demanded money, but the teller refused. He stormed out angrily, the teller yelled "robbery" and a security officer followed the man until police arrived to arrest him on Revere Street.
Michael Dunn, 54 and of Quincy, was arrested and charged with armed robbery of a bank.
-- Police raided a house on Fayston Street in Roxbury on Tuesday evening, where they found a bag of heroin, a tin containing crack cocaine, a scale and crack pipe. Other interesting finds? A pair of nunchucks and two swords. Is anyone else wondering about what happened to the pair of sai and a bo?). Two people were arrested.
All charges alleged until proven under law.

How can a bank be robbed if the teller didn't give the guy any money AND he left without any money from the bank?
