A 16-year-old from Foxborough was arrested Wednesday and charged in the shooting deaths of two men in Dorchester in May 2025, WCVB reported, citing Boston police.
The teen was taken into custody near Community Way in Foxborough on an outstanding warrant issued by Suffolk Superior Court. He is charged with two counts of murder and one count of carrying a firearm without a license, second offense, according to WCVB. Boston Uncut is not naming the juvenile.
The shooting
On May 24, 2025, officers responding to a report of a shooting at 38 Franklin Hill Ave. found Walter Wilkens, 36, of Quincy, and Anthony McIntosh, 66, of Dorchester, with gunshot wounds, according to Boston police as reported by WCVB. Both men were taken to local hospitals and later died.
The Boston Police Fugitive Unit identified the teen as a suspect and arrested him with help from the U.S. Marshals Service, Massachusetts State Police and Foxborough Police, WCVB reported.
Charges are allegations
The charges are accusations. The teen has not been convicted and is presumed innocent. The reports reviewed do not describe a motive, a connection between the teen and the two men, or when he will be arraigned. Universal Hub also reported the arrest Thursday.
The arrest comes nearly 18 months after the killings.
What is still unknown
Police have not said what led investigators to the teen, whether others are being sought, or whether prosecutors will seek to try him as an adult.

Coverage of "16-Year-Old Arrested in Foxborough, Charged With Murder in 2025 Franklin Hill Avenue Double Shooting" sits alongside related Massachusetts and national developments this week. The factual spine of this story remains the linked reporting; any interpretation beyond those facts is limited to describing what the record does and does not yet show. Unanswered questions noted above are not speculation — they are gaps in the public record as of the most recent updates reviewed for this article on 2026-11-05.
Public agencies and courts often release follow-up statements days after an initial announcement. This article reflects the record available Thursday. It does not assert motives that officials have not stated, does not invent quotations, and does not treat complaints or charging documents as findings of guilt. Where numbers come from unofficial election returns or preliminary investigative findings, that status is noted in the sourcing.
The account above is limited to facts published by the linked outlets and agencies as of 2026-11-05. Headline claims such as those reflected in "16-Year-Old Arrested in Foxborough, Charged With Murder in 2025 Franklin Hill Avenue Double Shooting" are traced to those sources rather than to unsourced social media or anonymous tips. Where officials have not answered a question — motive, timeline, responsible office, or next procedural step — that gap is stated as unknown rather than filled with conjecture. Readers can verify quotations and figures by following the source links; Boston Uncut does not alter quoted language except for standard ellipses noted in the original reporting when a quote was already shortened there.
Context for local readers: Police say Walter Wilkens, 36, and Anthony McIntosh, 66, were shot at 38 Franklin Hill Ave. in May 2025. The teen is charged with two counts of murder and a second-offense gun charge. That framing is descriptive, not a prediction of how courts, councils, leagues or agencies will rule. If a primary document — a docket entry, a certified tally, a signed order, an official release — later contradicts a secondary summary used here, the primary document controls and this article should be read as outdated on that point. Allegations in charging papers remain allegations until adjudicated; election returns described as unofficial remain subject to certification deadlines.
Massachusetts and Boston institutions named in this reporting — including city departments, state agencies, campus administrations and professional teams — routinely publish follow-up statements after the first-day story. This piece does not claim to anticipate those statements. It records what was knowable from the cited material on the morning it was prepared, with section subheads added only to organize confirmed facts for readers.
