One of the four young men charged with assault with intent to murder after the Oct. 8 slaying of 23-year-old Wareham resident Dwayne Borges had his charges reduced on Monday, according to court documents.

Latroy Hairston, 19, had his charges dropped to assault and battery and was released under on personal cognizance after previously being held on $500,000 bail, according to court documents.

Hairston, along with Jared Frye, 19, Demetrius Goshen, 18, and Adrian Garcia, 20, all from Wareham, were arrested on Oct. 8 in connection with a stabbing on Main Street that afternoon.

Shortly before noon, Borges was stabbed six times inside of Cumberland Farms on Main Street. He was transported to Tobey Hospital before being airlifted to Boston Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses said there was a commotion in the store between Borges and the four suspects before the four suspects ran out of the store and Borges lay wounded.

According to Plymouth County Lead Assistant District Attorney Keara Kelley, all four suspects had blood on their hands when apprehended by police.

She said that, when Hairston was questioned, he claimed to have never seen Borges prior to the incident, but during the confrontation inside the store, he “bear-hugged” him and punched him.

Hairston also told police he heard Goshen say “we got him” as they fled the scene, and that he saw Goshen put something in the bushes near 147 Main St., according to Kelley.

The three other suspects were scheduled to appear in Wareham District Court again on Dec. 10.
