A 19-year-old man was arrested and charged in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man outside a Revere ice cream shop Sunday night.

Yaseen Butt was found suffering from a gunshot wound outside Twist and Shake on Revere Beach Boulevard around 10:10 p.m. July 26, according to state police.

Felix Martinez was charged with murder, assault with a dangerous weapon and two counts of armed robbery over the phone with Chelsea District Court Thursday after investigators say they found security footage of him and other members of the group fleeing into a nearby MBTA station.

The Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said Martinez and a group of others stole two backpacks, one of which was valued at about $800, from Butt and another person near Garfield Avenue.

Following the robbery, the victims gathered a group of companions and set out to find Martinez in an attempt to retrieve the backpacks.  They located Martinez among a group of individuals in the area of Revere Beach Boulevard; he was said to be in possession of one of the backpacks.

During a confrontation between the two groups, Martinez allegedly attempted to obtain a firearm from another individual.  In response, the victim retreated from the location and was chased by Martinez and a group of males to a grassy area near 82 Revere Beach Blvd.  Butt fell to the ground, where the group began to kick and beat him and Martinez eventually shot him, prosecutors said.

Butt was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

At the request of Assistant District Attorney David McGowan, Martinez was ordered held without bail.

The incident remains under investigation.

Virginia family gets keys to Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the US

By
(CNN) — One Virginia family received the keys to their new  3D-printed home  in time for Christmas. The home is Habitat for Humanity’s first 3D-printed home in the nation,  according to a Habitat news release. Janet V. Green, CEO of Habitat for Humanity Peninsula and Greater Williamsburg, told CNN it partnered with Alquist, a 3D printing company, earlier this year to begin the process. The 1,200-square-foot home has three bedrooms, two full baths and was built from concrete. The technology allowed the home to be built in just 12 hours, which saves about four weeks of construction time for a typical home. April Stringfield purchased the home through the  Habitat Homebuyer Program . She will move in with her 13-year-old son just in time for the holidays. “My son and I are so thankful,” Stringfield said in a  live feed streamed on Habitat’s Facebook  page. “I always wanted to be a homeowner. It’s like a dream come true.” To purchase the home, Stringfield logged hundreds of hours of

Lawsuit: High school football player says coaches forced him to eat pizza as punishment, violating religious beliefs

By
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio high school football player who says coaches forced him to eat a pizza covered with pepperoni grease in violation of his religious beliefs is suing his former district and the ousted coaches. The former Canton McKinley High School athlete and his parents filed a federal civil rights suit this week seeking millions of dollars in damages and alleging violations of his religious freedom and constitutional rights. The athlete says in the lawsuit that coaches were notified he doesn’t eat pork or pork residue as a member of the Hebrew Israelite religious faith, but that they ordered him to eat the pizza as punishment for missing an offseason workout — and indicated his spot on the team was at risk if he didn’t. The coaches say the player chose to remove pepperoni and eat the pizza rather than an alternative food. They weren’t aware it violated his religious beliefs, according to a  defamation case they filed  previously against the teen’s father, his attorney a

Bergeron, Pastrnak and Bruins finish off Capitals in 5 games

By
WASHINGTON (AP) — Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak dazzled on offense, Tuukka Rask was rock solid in net and the Boston Bruins are moving on to the second round of the playoffs. Bergeron scored twice at crucial times after Pastrnak’s  highlight-reel  goal, Rask made 40 saves and the Bruins eliminated the Washington Capitals in five games with a 3-1 victory Sunday night. Bergeron delivered the dagger with 7:35 left to set up a second-round showdown against either the Pittsburgh Penguins or New York Islanders. Chants of “TUUKK!” emanated from a large group of black and gold-clad Boston fans who were part of the limited-capacity sellout crowd of 5,333. Those were occasionally interrupted by “We want the Cup!” — the trophy the Bruins last won a decade ago after a 39-year title drought. They’re 12 wins away, thanks to their best players dominating in Game 5. Pastrnak made it look easy putting the puck behind his back and through his legs, assisted on Bergeron’s first goal and was par
