3rd suspect in connection with Mass. teen's stabbing death fled the country, DA says

A second man facing charges in connection with the stabbing death of a Chelsea high schooler has fled the country, Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden's office said. Ezer Lenin Ramirez-Maldonado, 18, of East Boston, faces counts of murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to murder, Hayden's office said in a statement. No other information about Ramirez-Maldonado's whereabouts was shared. Ramirez-Maldonado is one of three people charged in connection with the stabbing death of Juan Carlos Lemus, 17. Chelsea and State Police learned of a double stabbing on Eastern Avenue around 8:45 p.m. on March 8, Hayden's office said previously. A 15-year-old boy was also stabbed during the incident, but he survived. On Thursday afternoon, Brayan Alfredo Lopez-Padilla, 26, of Chelsea, appeared in Suffolk Superior Court, Hayden's office said. He was charged with murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault with intent to murder. Lopez-Padilla is expected to return to court for a pretrial hearing on July 10. A 17-year-old boy suspected of the high schooler's death was also not arraigned on Thursday because of a "defense attorney work stoppage," Hayden's office said. The teenager was held overnight and is expected to appear in Boston Juvenile Court on Friday. Lemus's friends and family remember the Chelsea High School student as a 'cherished young soul' who loved hip-hop, video games and Burger King. He was a member of Ministerio Monte De Sion Church in Chelsea and aspired to read the Bible cover to cover. No further information about the double stabbing — including the relationship between Lopez-Padilla and Lemus or a motive — has been released.
