A Roxbury man will be arraigned in a Boston courtroom Monday on charges that he murdered two men more than four years ago.
Tabari Muhammad is accused of murdering Tremayne Jackson and Mibsam Wiggins in the parking lot of the Walgreens drug store on Warren Street in Roxbury on May 3, 2013, a violent act that ended the lives of two childhood friends, the Globe reported.
Muhammad, 25, was indicted for the killings in August after a long-running investigation, but has not yet appeared in Suffolk Superior Court because he was serving a prison sentence for another crime, according to Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office.
“Some homicides can be solved in days, and others can take years,” Conley said in a statement. “But every single one of them is a priority for Boston police and Suffolk prosecutors. We will follow every lead and use every tool available to identify, apprehend, and prosecute the perpetrator.”
Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans, in a statement, welcomed the resolution of the investigation into the double murder.
“Throughout this process my detectives have been working tirelessly gathering evidence and following up on every lead,’’ Evans said. “This determination and commitment is what led to these charges being brought. I send my heartfelt sympathies all the families impacted by this terrible crime and hope that this news brings some level of peace to both victims’ families.”
A motive for the shooting was not disclosed.
