TWO HELD WITHOUT BAIL FOR ROXBURY DOUBLE MURDER March 11, 2008 A man and woman shot two men dead and nearly killed a third in a street dispute that ended when the surviving victim sped away from the scene with six bullets in his body, a Suffolk County homicide prosecutor said at the defendants’ arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court today. The Suffolk County Special Grand Jury on Friday returned indictments charging ALEXANDER BOLLING, 24 (D.O.B. 6/17/83), and TANEIKA BRITT, 31 (D.O.B. 9/25/76), with two counts each of first-degree murder and additional charges of armed assault to murder and unlawfully carrying a firearm. The indictments came after a six-month Grand Jury investigation into the shooting deaths last summer of 29-year-old Jessie Calhoun and 20-year-old Robert Turner and the non-fatal shooting of a 27-year-old surviving victim who suffered six gunshot wounds and drove himself to a nearby police station. Suffolk Superior Court Clerk Magistrate Gary D. Wilson ordered both defendants held without bail, granting the request of a prosecutor who laid out the case against them. “In the early morning hours of Aug. 2 of last year, these two defendants pulled in front of 37 Williams Street in a grey Volkswagen Jetta,” Assistant District Attorney David Fredette told Clerk Magistrate Gary D. Wilson. “Ms. Britt was staying at that address at the time. Shortly after that, a second car occupied by Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Turner also arrived on Williams Street.” Fredette told the court that the victims and defendants both exited their vehicles. “Mr. Bolling came up and shot Jessie Calhoun in the head, turned, and shot Robert Turner,” he said. “Ms. Britt fired a second shot at Robert Turner. Taneika Britt then went to the side of the victims’ car and shot [the surviving victim] six times.” Bolling and Britt then entered the Volkswagen and drove away, Fredette said, and the surviving victim drove himself to the nearby Boston Police District 2 station, from where he was rushed to an area hospital for emergency surgery. In the days and weeks that followed, Boston Police homicide detectives and Suffolk homicide prosecutors undertook a complex and far-ranging investigation that included DNA analysis, ballistics testing, the scrutiny of records for three different cellular phones, and witness testimony. Bolling is represented by attorney Stephen Hrones and Britt by attorney John Palmer. Both have been held without bail since their December arrests in the midst of the Grand Jury investigation and will return to court on May 13. Return to the Press Releases page.
