SALEM — Massachusetts State Police have placed a 23-year-old man on its “Most Wanted List” in connection with a January double-shooting on Perkins Street in Salem. 

Wesly Jordan Alcin is wanted for armed assault with intent to murder, home invasion, and a firearms offense in connection with the January 24 shooting, which seriously injured two people, State Police said.   

On that date, Salem Police responded to a shooting at 32 Perkins St., and found a woman with nine gunshot wounds and a man with three gunshot wounds, all inflicted during a home invasion. Both victims survived, State Police said. 

A subsequent investigation by Salem Police detectives identified Alcin and an accomplice as the alleged assailants. The alleged accomplice is in custody but Alcin remains at large, with arrest warrants charging him with two counts of armed assault with intent to murder and single counts of home invasion, carrying a loaded firearm, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, State Police said. 

Alcin is also wanted by Malden Police for multiple firearms offenses in connection with a January 1 shooting in that city, state police said. 

The fugitive is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing approximately 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes and tattoos on his arm. Alcin, who may go by his middle name Jordan, has ties to Everett. He is actively avoiding apprehension and is considered armed and dangerous, State Police said.
