The Boston Police Department reports the arrest of a local man on charges he fatally stabbed Urvin Gerald, 48, in the neck at 110 Harvard St. on July 16, 2022.

Dwight Watson, 55, was brought back to Boston last week from the Mahoning County Justice Center in Youngstown, OH, by members of the BPD fugitive unit. He is scheduled for arraignment in Dorchester court, police say.

The US Marshals Service reports BPD had tracked him to Youngstown earlier this year, and that on Feb. 2, members of federal/local violent-fugitive task force found him in a house there:

"Watson initially gave a fictitious name to investigators, but his true identity was quickly revealed and Watson was taken into custody without incident."
