Police Commissioner William Evans said the arrest sends a “loud, clear message that gun violence of any kind will not be tolerated in our city.”
Sheppard and Singleton are scheduled to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court on Monday. It is unclear whether they have obtained attorneys.
Police say they are still investigating the shooting.
