Police arrest man wanted in connection with threatening customer at Mass. 7-Eleven with gun

Webster police arrested a man last week who was wanted in connection with threatening a 7-Eleven customer with a gun late last month, the department announced Monday. Webster resident Alfredo Rivera-Luquis, 28, is facing charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, Webster police said in a Facebook post. Around 6:35 a.m. on Sunday, May 25, a man reported to Webster police that another man had just pointed a handgun at him while he was in line at the 7-Eleven on Main Street, police said. The officer investigating the incident soon learned that the suspect — who was later identified as Rivera-Luquis — approached the victim from behind and challenged him to a fight. The victim told Rivera-Luquis to back off, but he responded by taking a handgun out of a fanny pack and putting the barrel to the victim's chest, police said. Rivera-Luquis then released the gun's magazine to show the victim it was loaded. Several other 7-Eleven customers ran to the back of the convenience store in fear before Rivera-Luquis drove away from the scene, police said. Shortly after 10 a.m. that day, the victim called police to tell them Rivera-Luquis' car was parked on School Street. Officers were able to recover the handgun used during the incident, and police obtained a warrant for Rivera-Luquis' arrest out of Dudley District Court, police said. Around 6:40 a.m. on June 18, an officer noticed Rivera-Luquis on School Street and arrested him. Webster police also said the department has seen 'a dramatic increase' in gun-related incidents and firearms seizures over the past few weeks. Other notable incidents include multiple large fights that broke out at local bars and had to be quelled by police.
