Boston, MA – Early Friday morning, July 5, officers from Districts E-18 (Hyde Park), E-5 (Roslindale/West Roxbury), and B-3 (Mattapan) arrested Joquentz Constant, 28, of Dorchester, on assault charges after responding to a large party.

At about 2:00 AM, officers were dispatched to 565 River Street due to reports of a large crowd. They issued multiple verbal commands for the crowd to disperse, warning that failure to comply would result in arrests for disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly.

A shirtless male began screaming and acting aggressively toward officers but was pulled back into an apartment by others in the crowd. Shortly after, the same individual ran towards Marcy Road and attempted to engage in a fight with an unknown person.

Officers observed the individual, later identified as Constant, holding a knife and feared he was attempting to stab the other person. They commanded him to drop the knife, which he threw into an empty yard on River Street. Officers recovered the knife and successfully dispersed the crowd.

Constant was arrested and charged with Assault with a Dangerous Weapon, Assault, and Disorderly Conduct. He is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.

Perth Amboy, NJ – On July 3, at 5:23 PM, the Perth Amboy Fire and Police Departments responded to a house fire at 61-63 Water Street. Due to the nearby fireworks festival, emergency units arrived promptly. Strong winds from the waterfront rapidly spread the fire throughout the 8-unit apartment building.

Police officers rescued at least four occupants trapped on the upper floors at the rear of the building, while firefighters began firefighting operations. Intense fire conditions and structural collapses forced a transition to a defensive operation. The fire was extinguished after approximately five hours, necessitating emergency demolition to expose and extinguish deep-seated pockets of fire. The structure was excavated to ensure complete containment.

Six injuries were reported: four civilians and two police officers. One civilian, a beloved community member, was transported in serious condition due to respiratory burns and is now stable. The two police officers were treated for smoke inhalation and released.

The eight families affected by the fire received immediate assistance from the city’s relocation team and the American Red Cross. The city commended the quick action of police, fire, and first responders, including Hackensack Meridian JFK EMS and the Hopelawn Fire Department. The community remains in the city’s prayers.

The fire scene has been fenced and secured for investigation. Multiple agencies will coordinate the investigation into the fire’s origin and cause, which will require heavy machinery. No date has been set for this investigation.

The fire’s cause is currently undetermined. Authorities urge anyone with video footage of the incident to contact the Perth Amboy Fire Investigation Unit at (732) 324-3500 or the Perth Amboy Police Department at (732) 324-3800.

TOMS RIVER, NJ – Sources within law enforcement today have confirmed that Maxwell Johnston, the fugitive murder suspect who killed himself after a tense standoff with police officers in Toms River, was with another woman inside a Toms River home before police entered the house.

According to the reliable source, the woman was a girlfriend of Johnston, and the pair reportedly published their final intimate moments together on Instagram before his self-inflicted demise. The woman, who was later seen being taken away by ambulance, was reportedly injured after a police teargas canister struck her in the head.

The pair engaged in a sexual act before his death, the source confirmed tonight. The video and photos were posted to Instagram under the account Glizzygrimm. That account belongs to Elizabeth Mascarelli, who has a police record that includes the possession, manufacturing, and distribution of drugs.

In one photo published on her Instagram page, the two are seen have relations. A bullet hole was clearly visible in the shattered mirror in the Ravenwood Court bedroom. Maxwell was holding a gun, presumably the one he killed himself and Gabriella Caroleo with. Both topless, Mascarelli is seen licking the gun in one photo.

In another photo, Maxwell is seen making a ‘finger gun’ motion to his head, indicating that he was going to kill himself. Mascarelli was smiling in the photo.

Johnston reportedly fired multiple shots at police and U.S. Marshals Service agents before police entered the home to find him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Officials believe Mascarelli knew Johnston was a fugitive wanted for the murder of a 25-year-old mother from Seaside Heights, Gabriella M. Caroleo. Caroleo was found shot dead near the intersection of Route 571 and Route 547 in Manchester Thursday evening shortly before 5:00 pm on June 27th. Mascarelli was also from Seaside Heights.

It is not known whether or not Mascarelli will be charged for her role in today’s standoff. She has an extensive criminal arrest record.

Toms River officials have refused to comment on this report, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office is expected to release a press release shortly.

TOMS RIVER, NJ – A standoff between police and a fugitive murder suspect has ended and early reports are indicating that the suspect is dead. A police SWAT team attempted to make entry into a home in the East Dover section of Toms River on Ravenwood Drive shortly before 7 pm. They were confronted by a woman who surrendered to police, but Max Johnston, the man wanted for killing a 25-year-old woman in Manchester, remained inside the home.

By 7:45 pm, police reported that the standoff had ended after police gained entry into the home. When they entered, they found Johnston dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
