Man who allegedly brought son with him on trip on which he shot somebody is held without bail

Juan Ayala-Powell was ordered held in jail today after a judge revoked his bail on an earlier charge at his arraignment on a variety of charges related to a shooting that sent a person to the hospital in serious condition, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

A Roxbury Municipal Court judge set Ayala-Powell's bail at $150,000 on charges of assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, kidnapping and endangering a minor by a relative, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony, unlawful possession of ammunition, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building and larceny of a motor vehicle.

Judge Jonathan Tynes then revoked Ayala-Powell's bail on earlier charges of forgery and uttering out of Dorchester court, which means he wouldn't walk even if he made the new bail.

According to the DA's office, Ayala-Powell had his 9-year-old son with him the night of the shooting:

[Assistant District Attorney Amy] Martin told the court that Ayala-Powell and two other residents of a Blue Hill Avenue apartment were involved in a verbal argument on Thursday evening. Ayala-Powell left the building with a minor child but returned later that night and began to argue with the same individuals shortly before 11:40 p.m. He allegedly shot one of the individuals in the stomach and fled the apartment in a 2004 Ford Explorer that belonged to another resident.

The victim was transported to Boston Medical Center with serious injuries.

The child’s legal guardian filed a missing person report shortly after 3:00 a.m. Friday after Ayala-Powell failed to bring the child home. The child was later located at the Dorchester home of a person who was known to Ayala-Powell.

Ayala-Powell was taken into custody in Revere the next day.
