BOSTON, June 5, 2017— A Boston man is held without bail in a fatal Downtown shooting last month, while Boston Police continue to search for a second man charged in the killing, Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said.

RICARDO EDWARDS (D.O.B. 2/14/94) of Boston was arraigned in Boston Municipal Court today on a charge of murder in connection with the victim’s May 27 shooting death.  At the request of Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Hickman of the DA’s Homicide Unit, Judge David Breen ordered Edwards held without bail.

The identity of the victim is not being released at this time while process of notifying family members is ongoing.

Hickman told the court that, at approximately 2:30 a.m. on May 27, the victim was smoking a cigarette outside 66 Hudson St., when a security camera captured a blue car pull up and a man later identified as Edwards step out.  After a brief conversation with the victim, Edwards allegedly shot him multiple times in the abdomen.  He then entered the car and fled the area. 

The victim was transported to Tufts Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

Edwards turned himself in to Boston Police Saturday and was placed under arrest.

Boston Police continue to seek GREG WRIGHT (D.O.B. 12/16/95) of Cambridge in connection with the May 27 homicide.  Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Boston Police Homicide Detectives at 617-343-4470.

Erin O’Connor is the DA’s assigned victim-witness advocate.  Edwards is represented by Lefteris Travayiakis.  He returns to court June 30.
