Man Accused of Memorial Drive Shooting to Be Arraigned on over 40 Additional Charges

Prosecutors say Tyler Brown faces six armed assault to murder counts and dozens of firearm and property charges after the May shooting injured two people.

  • Tyler Brown, 47, faces arraignment today in Middlesex Superior Court on over 40 charges stemming from the May 11 shooting on Memorial Drive in Cambridge that critically injured two motorists.
  • Prior to the shooting, Brown was on parole after recently relapsing on crack cocaine and expressing suicidal thoughts to his parole officer, who monitored him via FaceTime while Brown brandished a large firearm.
  • Prosecutors allege Brown fired 70 rounds from a BCI-Defense Model FF-15 assault rifle, injuring two motorists on Memorial Drive before a state trooper and armed civilian returned fire, stopping the attack.
  • Both victims have recovered from their injuries, while Brown was released from McLean Psychiatric Hospital just three days before the shooting and remains in custody.
  • The indictment moves the case to superior court, renewing scrutiny of Brown's 2020 conviction for shooting at Boston Police, which resulted in a relatively lenient sentence despite his lengthy violent record.
