Restraining orders have been issued against a 24-year-old man who lives at a house where two people were shot Friday morning, touching off a 13-hour standoff with police.
The orders against Caleb Y. Boateng were sought by his brother, Obed O. Boateng, and his mother, Philomena Boateng, according to court records, which list the home address for all three as 51 Colby Ave.
Friday morning, two people were shot at that address, leading to a tense scene in the neighborhood. When officers responded, a resident of the house fired a gun at the officers and retreated into the house. A large number of police officers, included a tactical unit, surrounded the house. The suspect fired at officers again.
After 13 hours, the man who had been holed up was in custody.
The two victims remain hospitalized, as does the alleged shooter.
Police have not released names of the suspect and the victims.
The four-bedroom Cape-style house at 51 Colby Ave., the site of the standoff, is listed as belonging to Anthony Boateng, according to city property records.
On Friday, the day of the standoff, emergency abuse prevention orders were issued against Caleb Boateng on behalf of the mother and brother. The emergency orders expired three days later on Monday.
On Monday, Judge David P. Despotopulos extended the abuse prevention orders against Caleb Boateng through 4 p.m. July 19.
According to court documents, the orders were issued due to “a substantial likelihood of immediate danger of abuse.” The documents also stated that the defendant has on or about certain dates caused the plaintiffs “physical harm” and placed them “in fear of imminent physical harm.”
In addition, Caleb Boateng was ordered to surrender all firearms.
Caleb Boateng could be arraigned as early as Tuesday in Worcester Central District Court.
