FALMOUTH – District Attorney Michael O’Keefe and Falmouth Police Chief Edward Dunne announced that on Friday at approximately 5:25 PM, Falmouth Police were called to an area on Seacoast Shores Blvd for a disturbance in the street. They encountered the suspect, Malik Antonio Koval (DOB 5-15-97) breaking bottles in the street. As they tried to engage him he became agitated, and ran into the home at 2 Ashley Drive. Two individuals, Marcus Maseda (DOB 11-16-99) and Kimberly M. Koval (DOB 6-8-80) tried to interfere with the officer’s efforts to follow Koval. Koval produced a gun and began shooting at the officers. It appears from ballistic evidence that the shots were fired within the house.
Police returned fire striking Koval several times. He was med-flighted to a Boston area hospital where he remains in custody, in stable condition.
