The man and woman who allegedly fired a total of 14 shots at three men on a Roxbury street, killing two and seriously injuring another, were not acting in self-defense, a Suffolk County homicide prosecutor said in a closing argument this morning.

“The evidence in this case points to one thing: murder,” Assistant District Attorney David Fredette said during a closing argument in the Superior Court trial of ALEXANDER BOLLING (D.O.B. 6/17/83) of Mattapan and TANEIKA BRITT (D.O.B. 9/25/76) of Taunton.

“Every single piece of evidence shows that these two individuals did not act in self-defense,” he continued. “There was no imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm” to either of the defendants, Fredette said.

Bolling and Britt are each charged with two counts each of first-degree murder and single counts of armed assault to murder and unlawfully carrying a firearm for the shooting deaths of 29-year-old Jessie Calhoun and 20-year-old Robert Turner and the non-fatal shooting of a third man. That surviving victim, then 27, suffered at least six gunshot wounds and drove himself to the Boston Police District 2 station after the Aug. 2, 2007 incident.

Suffolk prosecutors allege that Bolling and Britt, who were in a dating relationship, pulled up in front of Britt’s Williams Street home in a grey Volkswagen Jetta in the early morning hours of Aug. 2. Shortly thereafter, a second car occupied by the three victims also arrived on Williams Street, and parked across the street from the defendants’ car.

Fredette showed jurors still images taken from a surveillance camera in the area that captured portions of the incident. The images and their time stamps suggested that the defendants were laying in wait for the victims, Fredette said.

“For 43 seconds, Taneika Britt and Alexander Bolling waited in that grey Jetta until they got out of the car, and approached the car with Jessie Calhoun, Robert Turner and [the surviving victim],” Fredette said.

In a period of just eight seconds, Fredette told jurors, Bolling and Britt fired 14 shots from two handguns – a .40 caliber and a 9mm respectively – at the three victims.

Fredette told the court that Calhoun was shot on the left side of his head, and that the “bullet perforated his spinal cord.” Turner was shot four times, in the head and torso, and the surviving victim was shot multiple times. Noting that the surviving victim was in the back seat of the car when Britt fired at him, Fredette described how he survived only by “playing dead in the back of the car.”

“There was no warning shot,” Fredette said. “They had options out there. Did [Bolling] have to walk up to Jessie Calhoun’s head and pull the trigger? That’s murder and deliberate pre-meditation. When he took a loaded .40 caliber gun, walked up and pulled that trigger – that’s the intent to kill.”

Following the shooting, Bolling and Britt got into the Volkswagen and drove away from the scene. The surviving victim drove himself to the nearby Boston Police station, from where he was rushed to an area hospital for emergency surgery.

Bolling is represented by attorneys Stephen Hrones and John Amabile; Britt is represented by John Palmer. Following closing arguments, Superior Court Judge Frank Gaziano instructed jurors on the relevant law, after which jurors began their deliberations.
