WORCESTER — The fourth suspect in a triple shooting on Clarkson Street last week turned himself in to authorities.
Joshua Pittman, 20, had been on the run since the shooting, which occurred the night of April 7. Three others had since been arrested.
A "Wanted" flyer with a photograph of Pittman was distributed by Worcester police Friday. He was considered armed and dangerous.
Police said Pittman surrendered early Tuesday without incident.
Joshua Pittman, 30, of 14 Blanche St., Apt. 1, is charged with three counts of armed assault to murder, firearm; possession of a machine gun, possession of a large capacity firearm; possession of a large capacity feeding device; carrying a loaded firearm without a license; possession of ammunition without a FID card; and firing a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
Pittman was arraigned Tuesday and is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing Monday. The defendant was concealed during his arraignment. Judge Robert J. Pellegrini presided over the arraignment.
Three people have been charged in the case: Carter Webster and Jordany Alejo , both of Worcester, and Levon Atupem of Holden.
About 9 p.m. April 7, a car stopped in the area of Clarkson and Coral streets, and two individuals stepped from the vehicle and began firing toward people in the area, according to authorities. Three people were hit by gunfire; at least one remains hospitalized.
Authorities have not publicly connected the suspects and the victims.
In court papers, police say Pittman has been positively identified "as the person firing a machine gun." He faces charges of armed assault to murder (three counts), unlawful possession of a machine gun and unlawful possession of a high capacity magazine, among other charges.
