RANDOLPH, MASS. (WHDH) - Nine of the seventeen people who have been charged in connection with a street takeover in Randolph that endangered motorists and responding officers in October 2025 are set to face a judge on Wednesday.
On Sunday, October 5, 2025, police said large crowds gathered at the intersection of North Main and Oak Streets while cars drifted in the area and did donuts in the roadway. When officers arrived, the first cruiser was surrounded by a crowd, which prevented it from addressing the situation. Fireworks were set off both on top of the car and in the street nearby.
Officials said nearly 100 people were in the roadway at the intersection.
“I’m mad that this is happening, honestly, this chaos,” said Randolph Police Chief Anthony Marag. “How do you distinguish at the time whether it’s a shooting of a firearm or firework? You can’t.”
An investigation was launched following the incident, reviewing cruiser dash-cam footage, surveillance video from nearby businesses, and posts on social media.
Messages were recovered and search warrants were obtained to get information from several people who posted to social media, believed to be connected to the takeover.
As a result, 17 people were charged in the incident:
William Cantwell, 19, Warwick, Rhode Island
Divine Niles, 23, Roxbury
Nazeem McLeod, 20, Worcester
Casey Rondeau, 23, Farmington, Maine
Jordan Ryan, 19, Exeter, Rhode Island
Nahom Brook, 23, Boston
Dylan Jordan, 19, Gilmanton, New Hampshire
Nathaniel Urbaez, 22, Dedham
Jaden Williams, 23, Putnam, Connecticut
C. Anthony R. Llenas, 23, Boston
William Martinez, 31, Bronx, New York
Alec Cotto, 23, Taunton
Aidan LaFleche, 19, Springfield
Ashlee Carrier-McLeod, 22, Leicester
Christopher Diaz, 20, Springfield
Hashelyn Cabral, 20, Fitchburg
David Daniels, 20, Fitchburg
“Street takeovers create dangerous conditions for everyone involved, including the responding officers, anyone traveling in that area and residents who live nearby,” said Chief Anthony Marag. “This case required extensive investigative work and strong coordination between multiple law enforcement agencies. I commend our detectives for the time and effort they put into identifying those responsible, and I also want to recognize the patrol officers who faced a volatile situation that night and continued working to keep the community safe.”
Nine of the suspects are expected to be arraigned Wednesday in Quincy District Court.
