A Boston youth minister who was known for his anti-violence efforts was arrested on Wednesday and charged with the attempted murder of a high school student who was allegedly selling marijuana for him.
Rev. Shaun Harrison, 55, is accused of shooting the 17-year-old boy "execution-style" after an argument in Roxbury, Massachusetts, on Tuesday evening, MassLive.com reports.
The teen, who was shot in the back of the head, was rushed to Boston Medical Center and is expected to survive, Suffolk Assistant District Attorney David Bradley told reporters.
Harrison, meanwhile, faces a host of charges, including aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of them, according to the Associated Press. His bail has been set at $250,000.
The 17-year-old told officers that he had been selling pot for Harrison, the former dean of students at Boston's English High School, for months, the Boston Globe reports.
Harrison's sister Susan defended her brother to the Globe, telling the paper: "My brother is a good man, and I don't know how this happened. It was a setup."
