Daylight shooting in the South End; alleged getaway driver charged

Boston Police report a man was shot around 4 p.m. Friday in the doorway to 133 Northampton St. He was taken to Boston Medical Center, expected to survive.

At the scene, officers and detectives spoke to several witnesses who reported that they observed an unidentified black male running on foot down Northampton St shortly after the shooting. The suspect then ran into a newer dark colored Toyota Camry occupied by another male in the driver’s seat which then fled the scene. Witnesses also provided detectives and officers with a registration for the car that the suspect ran to after the shooting.

Police say they tracked the car to its owner, who told them her boyfriend had had the car at the time of the shooting. Jose O. Ortiz, 18, of Lawrence was arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact for assault with intent to kill. The alleged shooter is still at large.

Innocent, etc.
