Boston Officer Charged with Manslaughter in Fatal Carjacking Shooting

A Boston police officer, 33-year-old Nicholas O’Malley, was arraigned on a voluntary manslaughter charge for the March 11 fatal shooting of Stephenson King, 39, during a carjacking in Mission Hill. He pled not guilty and was released on personal recognizance with a firearms-surrender condition. Suffolk County DA Kevin Hayden said the case will go before a grand jury. Court papers, supported by body-worn camera footage and witness interviews, indicate King did not threaten the officers as his car moved, and O’Malley fired three shots through the driver’s window after King attempted to flee; prosecutors say the shooting was not in self-defense. The defense called the charges politically motivated and argued against releasing footage as the investigation continues. Autopsy found three bullet wounds; no weapons were recovered from the scene.
