BOSTON (AP) – A woman who was killed while visiting a makeshift shrine to her slain brother was fatally shot by a friend of her ex-boyfriend, a prosecutor said at the accused shooter’s arraignment Thursday.

Analicia Perry, 19, was shot on July 22, on the same spot that her brother, Robert Perry, was killed four years earlier.

Analicia Perry’s ex-boyfriend, Steven Sayles, was charged last month with being an accessory after the fact in her killing. His friend, Laron Lewis Richardson, 18, of Boston, was captured in Portland, Maine, last month.

During Richardson’s arraignment in Roxbury District Court Thursday, Assistant District Attorney Edmond Zabin said Sayles and Analicia Perry had an argument over the phone the night she was killed.

Later in the evening, when Perry went to visit her brother’s memorial, she was lighting a candle when a car matching the description of Sayles’ car pulled up, Zabin said.

Witnesses told police Perry threw a candle at the car, then crumpled to the ground as the car sped off.

Zabin said Sayles called Perry’s family the next day and admitted being in the car, but said Richardson shot Perry.

Richardson, who also spoke to Perry’s family during the same phone call, made statements implicating himself as the shooter, Zabin said.

Richardson’s lawyer, Barry C. Abelson, said his client did not kill Perry and would testify against Sayles.

Abelson said his client fled to Portland because he feared Sayles was trying to have him killed.

Richardson pleaded not guilty to a murder charge and was ordered held without bail. He is due back in court on Oct. 30.
