Boston Blotter: More Details on Baby Shooting, Bourneside Killer Convicted

033107_body_outline.jpg-- Fears that gang violence is on the rise in Boston's southern neighborhoods seemed justified as police revealed that Monday's shooting of a five-month-old baby in Mattapan may have been part of a cycle of retaliatory killings between rival Jamaica Plain gangs. Police believe that the shooting, which left Alianna Peguero in the hospital, may have been a retaliation for the April killing of Luis Troncoso on a basketball court in JP. The Troncoso killing, in turn, is said to have been revenge for the death of Peguero's 20-year-old half-brother, Alan Peguero, last September. Police have hit a wall in the investigation, citing the Peguero family's unwillingness to cooperate. Meanwhile, Bostonians wonder when and where the next battle in this gang war will break out.

the ambulance was apparently so slow in reaching the infant shooting (took almost 15 minutes from the 911 call) that the police had to take the baby to the hospital themselves. sad.
