Two of three charged in South Boston shooting, high-speed chase won't be going anywhere even if they can raise bail
Three people charged early Sunday with shooting up a door on Logan Way and then leading police on a chase that only ended when the driver crashed on Mass. Ave, were ordered held in lieu of bail starting at $50,000, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, which adds that two of them won't get out even if they raise the cash, because they had their bail on existing cases revoked.
According to police and the DA's office, Kalise Fitzgerald, 29, Tyler Kee, 20, and Skilar Morris, 18, all of Roxbury, were all spotted banging on a resident's door at 34 Logan Way around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday. Police say officers arrived just in time to hear gunshots - and to watch the trio get into a black Civic, which sped away. According to police:
The car briefly came to a stop at Kemp St. and Dorchester Ave. and then took off at a high rate of speed before officers could approach the car. Numerous units followed the car based on the nature of the incident but the car refused to stop for officers. While following the car, officers observed a dark object get thrown from the car as it kept going.
The car continued to drive at a high rate of speed until it lost control at the intersection of Massachusetts Ave. and Glynn Way and struck an unoccupied car. There, one of the three suspects fled from the car and was apprehended after a short foot pursuit. Suspect, Skilar Morris, the driver of the motor vehicle resisted being arrested by spitting officers on officers and kicking them.
At their arraignment in South Boston District Court, Fitzgerald had bail set at $150,000; Kee at $100,000; and Morris at $50,000. ll were charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
Fitzgerald and Morris had bail on unrelated cases revoked. Because of previous drug-distribution convictions in Boston and elsewhere, Fitzgerald was charged as an armed career criminal and faces up to 20 years on the gun charge.
