“This is a park where parents and children gather to have fun and play sports...' the DA said, noting his office will do everything it can to make sure people 'who carry high-capacity firearms and fight with police officers” don't endanger that.

A Boston man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly carrying a high-capacity firearm while filming a music video in a South Boston park where families hang out, officials announced.

Junior Martinez-Perello, 23, is charged with illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and resisting arrest, according to a press release from Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden. A judge ordered Martinez-Perello to be held pending a dangerousness hearing on Aug. 19.

According to the DA, the youth violence strike force was surveilling the area of 200 D Street around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday as part of a gang investigation. While there, they observed a group of around 25-30 people surrounding the Orton Field basketball court where Martinez-Perello was being filmed for a music video.

As officers approached him, Martinez-Perello allegedly turned away while pinning his right arm to the front of his waistband, the DA said. Officers subsequently found a gun tucked into his waistband.
