WEST BOYLSTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly shot and wounded a man during a robbery at a hotel in West Boylston on Wednesday night.
Brandon Coldwell, 27, of Boston, is wanted on charges including armed assault to murder, armed assault to rob, possession of a firearm without a permit, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with an incident at the Classic Suites hotel, according to the West Boylston Police Department.
Officers responding to a report of a shooting at the hotel around 9:30 p.m. found a man suffering from a gunshot wound in a room that he was sharing with his girlfriend, police said.
