Update: 3 teens arrested in Fall River shooting

The Fall River police have arrested three city teenagers in connection with a shooting last night that left a 33-year old local man seriously wounded.

The police have arrested Sunny Mao, 18, of 1454 Pleasant St.; Chantra Say, 17, of 227 Stevens St., Apt. 304; and a 16-year old boy, whom the police are not identifying because he’s a juvenile, according to police Sgt. Paul Bernier. The teens were charged with armed assault with intent to murder, discharging a firearm, assault with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy, Bernier said.

The victim, whom the police are not identifying, was shot at about 11 p.m. outside 1640 Pleasant St., the police said. He suffered a stomach wound and was initially taken to Charlton Memorial Hospital, in Fall River, before being transferred to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was in stable condition this afternoon. The police have not yet been able to speak with the victim because of his medical condition.

The three teenagers fled the scene and were spotted nearby by Sgt. Gil Costa, who followed the three to a Pleasant Street address where they were arrested after the police searched the building.
