BOSTON (AP) – A Boston man has been acquitted in the death of a 20-year-old woman who was gunned down while visiting a makeshift shrine to her slain brother.
A Suffolk Superior Court jury on Thursday found Laron Lewis Richardson not guilty of a murder charge after hearing eight days of testimony in the case.
Prosecutors said Richardson fired the shot that killed Analicia Perry in July 2006 as the victim lit a candle at a makeshift memorial to her brother, Robert Perry, who four years earlier had been shot to death at the same location.
Prosecutors said Richardson fired the fatal round from a car driven by Steven Sayles, who was Analicia Perry’s ex-boyfriend.
Sayles was charged with being an accessory to murder and will be tried later this year.
