Cops: Suspect shot at ex, then stole her car
Boston cops are asking the public to be on the lookout for a 23-year-old man who shot at his ex-girlfriend’s car while she was driving yesterday and then took off in her vehicle after she and her passenger ran into a Jamaica Plain police station for help.
Eric McPhail was last seen driving a gray 2002 Nissan Altima with Massachusetts license number 194FE7, police said. He is considered “armed and dangerous.”
Anyone who sees McPhail or the vehicle is asked to dial 911.
Police said that McPhail trailed his ex-girlfriend from her home to the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and the American Legion Highway in Dorchester. That’s where he rammed into the woman’s car, pulled up next to her and fired at the vehicle, the two women told police. The shots missed the woman and her passenger, they said.
The ex-girlfriend and her passenger fled to the District E-13 police station in Jamaica Plain, where they went inside and told officers what was happening at 9:52 a.m., police said.
While they were inside the station, McPhail stole his ex-girlfriend’s car and then fled, police said.
McPhail is described as a black male who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs between 145 and 155 pounds, police said. He has dreadlocks and was last seen wearing a brown jacket and a blue and tan hooded sweatshirt, cops said.
McPhail is charged with armed assault with intent to murder in connection to yesterday’s incident and is wanted on several other outstanding warrants, police said.
