A Boston-area youth minister was fired Friday from Boston English High School following his arrest this week for an alleged execution-style shooting of a 17-year-old student after an argument over a drug deal. The Rev. Shaun O. Harrison, 55, allegedly employed the student to sell drugs and has been charged with attempted murder. The student survived and is reportedly being treated at Boston Medical Center.
The father of eight pleaded not guilty to charges of assault with intent to murder, assault and battery and unlawful possession of a firearm in a Suffolk County courthouse, according to Boston.com. The shooting occurred Tuesday, when Harrison and the student left Harrison’s Pompei Street home in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and began walking toward Magazine Street. Harrison told the student they were going to meet up with women and pick up marijuana, but it was allegedly a trap.
“He had told the victim that they were going to a house to get marijuana and meet up with some girls,” Assistant District Attorney David Bradley said, according to the Boston Herald. “There was no one else on the street and he was shot in the back of the head. Then Mr. Harrison fled the scene.”
