Bryan Villeda Pineda was arrested early Monday morning after officers executed a search warrant at a home on Wellington Avenue, where they seized an M1 Carbine semi-automatic rifle, according to Everett police.

The incident began around 8:45 p.m. Sunday, when callers reported a man with what was initially described as an AK-47 machine gun at the park. Officers from multiple units responded, but the suspect had left the scene before they arrived.

In a statement released Sunday night, Everett Police Chief Paul Strong said investigators quickly pieced together what had happened. "It was determined that there was a dispute during the soccer game and the male went to his vehicle, took out the AK-47 and fired off one round," Strong said.

No injuries were reported. It was not immediately clear how many people were at the park at the time or whether the game was part of an organized league.

The arrest came together within hours: police obtained and served the search warrant at the Wellington Avenue address early Monday, recovering the rifle and taking Villeda Pineda into custody. He faces several firearm-related charges, the specifics of which were not immediately released.

Rivergreen Park, a city-owned green space bordering the Malden River, hosts youth and adult soccer games and is one of Everett's larger public recreation areas. The shooting is likely to renew attention to safety at the park and to how quickly disputes at public events can escalate when firearms are present.

Everett, a densely populated city directly north of Boston across the Mystic River, has seen sustained growth in recent years, and its parks have become increasingly important gathering places for residents.

Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the Everett Police Department.
