A Boston lady has been charged with homicide after she allegedly “repeatedly” stabbed a girl at a park in the course of the center of the day.
Rasheedah Hughes, 40, has been charged with first-degree homicide for the stabbing dying final month of Celia Simmons, 65.
Boston cops responded to a name at Ramsay Park on Washington Avenue for an individual stabbed on Nov. 16 at about 12:48 p.m.
Responding cops discovered Simmons affected by quite a few stab wounds.
Hughes and Simmons had reportedly gotten into an altercation, throughout which Hughes allegedly brandished a field cutter and Simmons hit her with a cane.
“Hughes then left the park and returned some time later carrying what witnesses described as a large knife,” the Suffolk DA’s workplace stated in a press release. “She then stabbed Simmons repeatedly.”
Hughes was recognized by eyewitnesses, video, and numerous circumstantial means.
“This appears to be a middle-of-the-day altercation that went to the very worst of extremes,” Suffolk DA Kevin Hayden stated in a press release. “As we see time and again, this type of quick, careless decision-making ends lives and ruins others.
“My sympathies go out to the family and friends of Celia Simmons as we begin the process of seeking accountability for the person charged with her death,” the DA added.
Hughes was ordered held with out bail, and is ready to return to courtroom on Jan. 23 for a possible trigger listening to.
