Hyde #Hyde

Two brothers were arrested Tuesday for a double shooting last month in Hyde Park that killed a man and injured a woman , officials said.

Jerry Pierre-Louis, 21, of Mattapan, and Vierry Pierre-Louis, 18, of Randolph, are charged with murder, assault with intent to murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon, the Suffolk district attorney’s office said in a statement.

“There is no place for this kind of violence in our communities and my office has made a solemn vow to hold those who commit violence accountable for their actions,’’ Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said in the statement. “If you carry an illegal firearm, commit an act of violence, or risk the lives and safety of others we will hold you accountable and you will be removed from the community.”

Israel Mayhew, 26, of Dorchester was killed in the May 19 shooting at Martini Playground on Truman Highway, officials said.

The brothers are expected to appear virtually in the West Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court on Wednesday, the statement said.

The ongoing investigation is being led by the district attorney’s office and the State Police with the assistance of Boston police, according to the district attorney’s office.
