Investigators said the trio donned ski masks to break into a home on Warren Street just before 2:30 a.m. on July 18. They robbed and assaulted the person inside, police said, but they did not say if the resident was injured.

Larceny over $1.200
Possession of a firearm without a license

Discharge of a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling

They pleaded not guilty to the charges, Brookline police said. Buchanan faces the same felonies once he's caught.
