A search warrant at the Rev. Shaun Harrison’s Roxbury home — executed three days after he allegedly shot a teen boy he mentored — turned up guns, nearly 30 grams of cocaine and bags of marijuana stored in a basement safe, a prosecutor said today.

Harrison, 55, was arrested March 4 for allegedly shooting a 17-year-old English High School student in the back of the head.

At his Roxbury District Court arraignment today, Harrison was held on an additional $150,000 cash bail for evidence seized during the March 6 search of his basement.

According to court documents, in the basement safe of Harrison’s home were: 29.5 grams of cocaine, four plastic marijuana bags, one Ruger .380, one Smith and Wesson revolver, and ammo including one spent shell casing from a .38.

Prosecutor David Bradley said the spent shell casing did not come from the firearm used to shoot the teen. He also said a previous search of Harrison’s home on a separate warrant turned up a rifle, shotgun, scales and other paraphernalia.
