BOSTON, November 4, 2021— A 30-year-old Boston man was sentenced to life in prison today by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Mary K. Ames in connection with the 2013 murder of Brianna Bigby, District Attorney Rachael Rollins announced.
Ms. Bigby, 23, was killed on the afternoon of June 1, 2013, as she sat in a car on Walnut Avenue with her boyfriend, who was wounded in the attack.
Yesterday, at the conclusion of his jury trial, RASHEEM CHRISTIAN, 30, was found guilty of first-degree homicide, armed assault with intent to murder, and three firearms charges.
Mr. Christian was indicted for the murder in 2015. Investigators linked him and ANTHONY HOWARD, 35, to the shootings. Mr. Christian went on trial in November 2019. After six days of deliberation, the jury was unable to reach a verdict and Judge Christine Roach declared a mistrial. Suffolk prosecutors brought the case to trial again last month.
