Boston city employee facing accessory charges in connection with fatal shooting in Roxbury
Her since-deleted LinkedIn page had said she works as a housing supervisor for the commission and that she received a criminal justice degree from Salem State University. A spokesperson for the commission said Friday that the agency 'is aware of the pending criminal charges against the employee. This person has been placed on unpaid administrative leave.' Advertisement Payroll records show she was hired by the commission, an independent public agency run by a board appointed by the mayor, in 2019. Her current title is housing coordinator, the commission said. Her charges were A statement of the case against Cherisme said she drove Charles Dixon, 40, in her gray Infiniti on April 19 to the area of the Nubian MBTA stop. They got out of the car and Dixon began arguing with Ellis Santos, 36, on the sidewalk, according to the statement. As a crowd began to form, Cherisme and Dixon got back in the car, the statement said. Advertisement As Cherisme drove away, Dixon allegedly fired a gun at Santos from the front passenger seat, missing him but hitting two bystanders and killing one of them, Andrew Owens, officials said. Dixon last month pleaded not guilty to murder and weapons charges and is being held without bail, records show. Santos allegedly returned fire, striking the Infiniti, and is facing weapons charges, according to court records. After the shooting, Cherisme dropped Dixon off where she had initially picked him up, the statement said. A couple of hours later, early on April 20, Cherisme 'walked into the Boston Police Department' and told detectives she was standing on the sidewalk during the shooting, the statement said. She allegedly told police that Santos was the 'primary aggressor,' and that she didn't recognize the person he argued with since everyone wore masks, the filing said. 'It was not until investigators received video surveillance footage of the incident that they learned that Santos was not the primary aggressor and that the defendant had actually driven the man later identified as Dixon, who was not wearing a mask during any of the interaction,' the statement said. On May 5, Cherisme spoke to State Police investigators with her attorney present after receiving a 'proffer letter' indicating her statements wouldn't be used 'directly against her' unless she lied, the filing said. During that session, she gave authorities a phone number that she said she used to call and text Dixon, the cell phone that she said she used to reach him, and her iCloud account information, records show. She consented to an extraction of her phone's data as well as a search of her vehicle for forensic evidence, telling investigators it hadn't been cleaned or tampered with since the shooting, according to the statement. Advertisement Virtually all those statements were false, authorities allege. 'With respect to the phone number she provided for Dixon, it was not a real phone number,' the filing said. 'Her own phone records, obtained by subpoena, revealed the actual number by which she contacted Dixon the night of the shooting. The number she provided appeared nowhere in her records.' In addition, the phone she gave detectives wasn't the one she was using at the time of the shooting, as she claimed. Rather, it was purchased on April 22, 2025, three days after the shooting, the statement said. And the iCloud account she provided had no data from the time of the shooting and 'appeared to have been created days after,' the statement said. There was also a glaring issue with the Infiniti, according to the filing. State Police observed 'a through-and-through bullet hole in one of the doors to the vehicle, with no corresponding exit hole elsewhere,' the document said. 'This would indicate that the projectile should still be within the vehicle.' Yet it wasn't. 'A thorough search of the vehicle, including the partial disassembly of some components, was conducted, and no such projectile was located in the vehicle,' the statement said. 'This item, of significant evidentiary value, must have been removed from the vehicle prior to the search.' A request for comment was sent to Mayor Michelle Wu's press office Friday. The Middlesex District Attorney's office is handling Cherisme's case because she 'has a family member in law enforcement in Suffolk County,' a spokesperson for that office said. Advertisement One of the defendants in the case is related to 'a BPD officer,' a spokesperson for the Suffolk office said. City payroll records indicate that someone with the same last name as Cherisme is employed as a Boston police criminalist. Andrew Ryan of the Globe staff contributed to this report.

Anti-Israel slogan spray-painted on MIT building, vandalism under investigation, school says
Campus police at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working with local and federal law enforcement to identify the vandals who defaced a school building with an anti-Israel slogan, the school said Tuesday. Vandals spray-painted the words 'Death to the IOF,' known as a slur for the Israel Defense Forces, onto glass doors of the Stata Center, a large academic complex at the elite school, sometime over the weekend. The graffiti was tagged with the letters DAMPL, which stands for the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation. 'The MIT Police Department is working with local and federal officials to identify the individual or individuals responsible for the graffiti on campus this weekend so that they can be held accountable for these outrageous acts of vandalism, targeting and threats of violence,' an MIT spokesperson said Tuesday. 'While we do not publicly discuss the specifics of internal safety plans, I can confirm we are taking steps beyond the investigation to further increase security on campus,' the spokesperson said. MIT Israel Alliance, a Jewish advocacy group on campus, denounced the vandalism. 'The MIT Israel Alliance is disturbed—but not surprised—by the recent vandalism of the Stata Center,' the group said in a statement. 'This incident is the latest in an Escalating string of attempts to harass and intimidate MIT faculty with research ties to Israel,' the group said. 'The spray-painted slogan 'Death to the IOF' (a slur for the IDF) goes beyond political speech; we take it as a direct threat to all IDF veterans at MIT, who make up the majority of Israeli students, postdocs, staff, and faculty." 'We have received no guidance from the MIT administration despite reaching out,' the group said. 'We hope to hear promptly how the university will address these threats and ensure the safety of all community members on campus.' The vandalism comes about two weeks after a federal lawsuit was filed accusing MIT and its leaders of cultivating an environment 'rife with anti-Semitism and fear.' The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law filed the lawsuit on June 25 in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts. The 71-page complaint alleges that anti-Semitism soared on MIT's campus after Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking 250 hostages. 'After October 7, the campus became a hotbed of anti-Semitic hate and lawlessness, where student groups celebrated the murderous rampage of October 7, demonstrators shouted for violence against Jews worldwide, students occupied buildings and interrupted classes with hateful anti-Semitic chants,' the complaint states.

‘How do you negotiate with that?' Mass. lawmakers cut a proposed pay hike for court-appointed attorneys amid work stoppage.
Advertisement 'It doesn't give bar advocates confidence that [lawmakers] appreciate the crisis that is going on,' said Jennifer O'Brien, a criminal defense attorney in Billerica who is among those who've stopped taking bar advocate cases. 'We definitely want to go back to work. We want a resolution. But when you get zero raises, how do you negotiate with that?' The work stoppage that began May 27 has hit Suffolk and Middlesex counties the hardest, but lawyers say it has spread to courthouses elsewhere. As of Monday, more than 1,460 defendants — including 107 who are in custody — didn't have counsel across the state, according to a count provided by the Committee for Public Counsel Services, the state's public defenders office. That included a Boston Police Department sergeant who was Advertisement CPCS has The bar advocates who work in district courts, the base level of the criminal court system, are paid $65 an hour. In superior court, where most felonies are prosecuted, they make $85. Attorneys who handle homicide cases make $120 an hour. In comparison, in Rhode Island, which this year increased its pay, court-appointed lawyers for most cases make $112 an hour. In New Hampshire, court-appointed attorneys make $125 or $150 an hour, and in Maine, it's $150 across the board. The proposal that Massachusetts lawmakers ultimately cut from the budget offered more modest changes than what attorneys in Massachusetts had sought. The measure, which passed the Senate last month, would have raised the rates for those working in superior court and taking appointments for mental-health matters. Those handling homicide cases would have their hourly rates increase, too, from $120 to $130. But lawmakers ultimately dropped it from the budget plan amid closed-door negotiations between House and Senate leaders. That change alone likely would not have brought many attorneys back to courthouses, but it would have been a 'step in the right direction,' said Mara Dolan, a member of the Governor's Council who also serves as a defense attorney. Advertisement Instead, she said, 'we've had no step at all. Any positive indicator would have helped. But are there folks who would not come back unless there was a substantial raise? Absolutely.' Senate President Karen E. Spilka said Monday that legislative leaders ultimately cut several proposals, including hundreds of millions of dollars in spending, that they had approved in their earlier budget plans. The Ashland Democrat said the spending plan still includes money to cover the bar advocates' current rates — 'They are getting paid for their cases,' she said — but she acknowledged this was a 'tough budget.' 'Hard decisions had to be made,' Spilka said. 'But I look forward to talking to the bar advocates directly to hear what their issues are.' Lisa Hewitt, general counsel for CPCS, told staff in an e-mail Monday that while lawmakers didn't adopt the language, leaders at the public defender's office believe lawmakers are paying attention to the crisis 'and will take action.' That said, the budget plan included other disappointing news for the agency, she wrote. Lawmakers approved giving CPCS $89 million for its operations, which is 'well below our requested maintenance level,' Hewitt wrote. The agency also received about $25 million to cover costs for representing indigent clients and $213.8 million to pay private attorneys, both of which fall below the office's projected spending for the year, she said. 'Without additional legislative action, these appropriation levels will have serious consequences for both staff and private bar compensation and will impact all components of our legal services delivery system,' Hewitt wrote. Advertisement For now, attorneys are hoping the SJC will take action to provide a temporary increase for bar advocates. CPCS asked the court to set 'a reasonable rate,' pointing to the hourly rates in Maine and New Hampshire. That so many defendants currently have no lawyer at all 'is crazy,' said Daniel Cappetta, a lawyer who sits on the board for the Middlesex Defense Attorneys, which administers defense attorneys for indigent clients in the county. 'There doesn't feel like there's an end in sight,' he said. 'We've done everything we can to recruit attorneys . . . who will take this work at the current pay rates. That's just not happening.'
