Ron Srey is to be arraigned this afternoon for the murder of 17-year-old runaway Tavaryna Choeun, whose body was dumped on a Lowell street Tuesday night.
Prosecutors have said Choeun was not the intended target.
“We allege that this defendant brazenly shot into the car in which Tavaryna was a passenger,” Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone said in a statement this afternoon. “It is an absolute tragedy. Tavaryna was an innocent bystander killed by a bullet intended for someone else.”
Srey was arrested this morning on an unrelated warrant and later charged with Choeun’s murder.
Choeun was in the passenger seat of a parked car Tuesday night, and her friend was in the back seat, when a Srey allegedly approached and fired off multiple shots meant for the driver. One bullet went through Choeun’s head. No one else was struck.
The driver sped away and blocks later dumped Choeun’s body on Suffolk Street. A passerby saw the body and called police.
Leone said the driver and Choeun’s friend were interviewed, but it’s unclear why they didn’t take her to the hospital or call 911 after the shooting.
Leone said yesterday that the driver and shooter, identified today as Srey, are gang-affiliated, but the shooting was not gang-related.
Choeun’s family said the troubled teen, who had six siblings, had a history of running away from home and had dropped out of high school. She had been living in a foster home when she again ran away to live with her boyfriend in Lowell.
Her sister, Mary Ann Choeun, 18,told the Herald yesterday that she believes her sister was the target of the shooting.
“That is not an accident. It was point-blank. She was shot right away,” she said.http://news.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/2009_05_15_Lowell_man_charged_with_murder_of_Lawre nce_teen/srvc=home&position=recent
How horrible and I hope his ass at least gets life in prison I would like his ass to die though for what he did to this young teen. He took a young innocent girls life away from her at the prime of her time and she wasn't even the intended target. This piece of shit makes me sick and I think we should sick Envy on him that will help some.
May Tavaryna Choeun RIP.
