A guilty plea has been entered by a Boston man involved in three Cambridge and Somerville gunfire incidents dating back nearly two years.

Lennox Pierre-Louis, 22, of Boston, pleaded guilty  in connection with shootings that occurred on March 11, 2022, and June 18, 2022 in Cambridge and on December 27, 2021 in Somerville, said Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, Cambridge police commissioner Christine Elow and Somerville acting police chief Charles Femino on Wednesday.

Judge James Budreau sentenced Pierre-Louis to three terms in state prison: five to six years for the June 2022 shooting incident, 2½ years for the March 2022 shooting incident and five to six years for the December 2021 shooting incident. The two terms of five to six years each will be served concurrently, making the stay as long as 8½ years.

“Over the course of the past year we have seen an alarming increase in the frequency of random gun violence, especially among young people. These bullets are striking homes and vehicles indiscriminately. Clearly, it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or killed,”  Ryan said. 

“We have not done enough to address the perpetrators’ complete lack of concern for the public safety and the ripple effect that these dangerous incidents have on the well-being of the entire community. We must attack this problem on all fronts,” Ryan said, urging a bill that would create a charge for discharging a firearm at a dwelling intentionally; and a felony offense for people who shoot “intentionally or recklessly” and “without regard for the risk of serious bodily injury to another.” 

Pierre-Louis was arrested after the June 18, 2022, incident, when gunshots reported around Hurley Street in East Cambridge drew police who found nearly a dozen shell casings and damage to at least four cars and one building – the result of Pierre-Louis firing at a man across the street, failing to hit him and fleeing.

He crashed the car he’d fled in and was arrested on an outstanding, unrelated warrant; he was later identified as being at the shooting from area video footage, police said. 

For this incident, Pierre-Louis was charged with armed assault to murder, carrying a firearm without a license, trafficking cocaine over 18 grams, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of personal injury and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.

Police also tied Pierre-Louis to a shooting on Dec, 27, 2021, from a playground on Marshall Street in Somerville, where a shot hit the car of a man who was leaving to go to work. The bullet passed through the passenger’s side and out the driver’s side of the vehicle, “fortunately not striking the driver,” police said. For this case, Pierre-Louis pleased guilt to attempted assault and battery by discharging a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition and discharging a firearm without a license.

The final incident, of March 11, 2022, was on Windsor Street in Cambridge. A man stepped out of a black sedan, fired at a home and drove on toward Central Square at around 5:30 p.m., witnesses told police. Three shots were fired, hitting the home and a nearby building. For this case, Pierre-Louis pleaded guilty to attempted assault and battery by discharge of a firearm, carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling.
