Gendraw is facing charges of murder and carrying an illegal firearm. The district attorney's office said he will be arraigned Wednesday in Taunton District Court.
Authorities said last week that a second man, an 18-year-old from Holyoke, had also apparently been shot during the same incident, and he took himself to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. There was no update on his condition Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear if Gendraw had an attorney.
