Four Cambridge Teens Arrested on Gun Charges After Another Teen Was Shot Friday Night

Four Cambridge teens have been arrested in relation to the shooting and killing of another teen on Friday night, according to the Middlesex district attorney’s office.

The Boston Globe reported yesterday that the Cambridge police found the body of Lucien Christalin, 18, with a gunshot wound to his chest at approximately 10 p.m. Friday, shortly after receiving calls about a shooting incident. Christalin was pronounced dead at the Massachusetts General Hospital the same night.

One of the suspects, David J. Louis, 17, will appear before the Cambridge District Court on charges of illegally carrying firearms and ammunition today. The three others, whose names were not released because of their ages, will appear before the Cambridge Juvenile Court, also on gun charges, Corey Welford, a spokesman for Middlesex District Attorney Gerard T. Leone, Jr. ’85 told The Globe.

The suspects, who reportedly knew Christalin, have not been specifically charged with his murder, but The Globe reported that both Cambridge and State police are currently conducting an investigation to confirm whether the gun charges are related to the murder.

Christalin’s death is the first homicide to occur in Cambridge since March 2006, when a 22-year-old man was shot in Central Square, according to The Globe.
