Boston police arrested two individuals connected to a Saturday morning shooting in Dorchester that left seven people with non-life threatening injuries, authorities said.
But parade organizers asked people Saturday to separate the festivities from the acts of violence. Boston Caribbean Carnival President Shirley Shillingford said the media often attaches violence to particular events.
“There’s absolutely no excuse for something that is open to the community and part of Boston’s culture and heritage to be talked about in this way because of the acts that were introduced,” the mayor said. Gov. Maura Healey has received “constant” updates on the shooting throughout the day, a spokesperson told the Herald.
The first parade, the J’ouvert Parade, started at 6:30 AM on Talbot Avenue at Kerwin Street and proceeded up Blue Hill Avenue to the Circuit Drive Entrance for Franklin Park.
