Suspect arrested in Braintree movie theater stabbing – Connecticut death investigation – Boston 25 News

Theo

BRAINTREE, Massachusetts – The man arrested after leading police on a chase to Cape Cod was wanted for allegedly stabbing four young girls to death at a McDonald’s in Braintree and two more at a McDonald’s in Plymouth on Saturday.

At around 6 p.m., a man entered the AMC Braintree 10, walked past the ticket counter and entered one of the theaters, according to Braintree police. Inside the theater, he stabbed and attacked four young girls, ages 9 to 17, “without saying anything and without warning,” police said.

According to police, the suspect raced out of the cinema after the attack and sped away in a black SUV.

Boston 25 sources have identified the suspect as Jared Ravizza.

First responders arrived on scene and took the four young girls to a Boston hospital for treatment of their non-life-threatening injuries.

“They looked like they had just seen a horror movie, not a children’s movie,” said Mateo Rojas, a moviegoer. “They said one of the girls screamed ‘Help, I’ve been stabbed’ and the children came out completely shocked.”

Braintree Police Patrol Officers and Detectives quickly reviewed the video footage and were able to determine that the suspect was Ravizza and that the black SUV was no longer in the area. Police were able to obtain Ravizza’s license plate number and other law enforcement agencies were notified.

According to Braintree police, a vehicle matching the description was allegedly involved in a similar robbery in Plymouth. Massachusetts State Police said they were called to the McDonald’s at Route 3 Park and Ride just after 7 p.m. after a 21-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were stabbed. Both were taken to local hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Photos obtained by Boston 25 News show the suspected SUV blackened and charred on Cotuit Road in Sandwich after it caught fire following the crash.
