Suspect in Boston murder waives extradition
By News 8 WMTW, report

BOSTON — The second suspect wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a Boston woman last month appeared in a Maine courtroom on Wednesday.

Laron Lewis Richardson, 18, of Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood was taken into custody on Tuesday after a tense stand-off at a home in Portland, Maine.

Analicia Perry, 20, was shot in the head last month as she was lighting candles at a makeshift shrine to her brother in Roxbury. Robert Perry had been shot dead at the same location four years before.

Steven Sayles, 19, surrendered earlier this week and was charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. Richardson is facing murder charges.

A task force investigating Perry's murder tracked Richardson to Biddeford, Maine, and then to Portland, where he was spotted on Tuesday.
