NO BAIL FOR TWO CHARGED IN YOUNG WOMAN’S MURDER

Two Dorchester men were held without bail today following their arraignments for the murder of 24-year-old Toneika Jones and the non-fatal shooting of a 19-year-old male on Harvard Street over the weekend, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

KADEEM FOREMAN and TERRELL RAINEY, both 20, were charged with murder, armed assault with intent to murder, and gun offenses in Dorchester District Court this morning. Both were ordered to return to court on June 23.

Assistant District Attorney Gretchen Lundgren of Conley’s Homicide Unit told the court that Jones and the surviving victim were in the vestibule of 183 Harvard St. in Dorchester just after 1:00 Saturday morning when “several shots pierced the metal security door.”

One of those rounds struck Jones in the abdomen, Lundgren said, and another struck the male victim in the arm. Jones was mortally wounded and the male victim is expected to survive.

A nearby Boston Police officer conducting surveillance unrelated to the case heard the shots, went to the scene, and observed two men facing the building and backing away. One, wearing a blue shirt with red, was still firing. That man and his associate, dressed in a white shirt, then ran around the corner toward Bicknell Street, Lundgren said.

The officer gave chase and additional Boston Police officers responded to the scene. Foreman and Rainey were both apprehended in the back yard of a Gleason Street residence. When officers traced their paths of flight, they recovered two handguns that Lundgren said were ballistically consistent with evidence recovered at the scene.

Catherine Yuan is the assigned victim-witness advocate. Foreman is represented by attorney Michael Doolin and Rainey is represented by attorney Stephen Weymouth.
