BAIL FOR MAN CHARGED IN JUNE MURDER

A Roxbury man was ordered held without bail today following his arraignment for the murder of 29-year-old Travis Lamont Davis this summer, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said today.

Arrested Wednesday by Boston Police, STERLING FUSI (D.O.B. 2/17/86) was formally charged today with Davis’ June 5 shooting death on a back stairwell at Fusi’s 2 Centre Terrace residence in Roxbury. Acting on a request by Assistant District Attorney Edward Krippendorf of Conley’s Homicide Unit, Roxbury District Court Judge Kenneth Fiandaca ordered Fusi held without bail pending trial.

Krippendorf told the court that Davis went to the apartment shared by Sterling Fusi and his brother, MAXWELL FUSI (D.O.B. 5/11/91), on June 5.

“At approximately 2:40 pm, as a result of a dispute that occurred within the apartment, Sterling Fusi drew a silver .45 caliber handgun and began firing it at Travis Davis,” Krippendorf said. “As Davis fled from the apartment running down the rear staircase, Fusi … ran after Davis shooting at him, striking him multiple times.”

As Davis lay dying, Krippendorf said, Sterling Fusi ran back into the apartment. Maxwell Fusi allegedly took the handgun, left the apartment, and discarded it in an empty lot across the street.

Acting on evidence developed by the homicide units of the Boston Police Department and Suffolk DA’s office during an active, ongoing investigation, Suffolk prosecutors approved warrants for the Fusi brothers’ arrests on Nov. 20.

Maxwell Fusi was arrested and arraigned Monday and held on $250,000 cash bail for allegedly possessing the murder weapon in the shooting’s aftermath; he is represented by attorney Darryl Malden.

Sterling Fusi was apprehended Wednesday in Malden. He is represented by attorney Robert Jubinville, Jr., and will return to court on Jan. 26. Cat Yuan is the assigned victim-witness advocate.
