A Boston teenager was arraigned on Jan. 16 in a Suffolk Superior courtroom for the murder last October of an Adams Corner Irish immigrant man and a subsequent double-shooting nearby that left another man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. John Graham, 17, pled not guilty to all nine charges— including first-degree murder in the Oct. 10 shooting death of 36-year-old Ciaran Conneely— and will likely stand trial for the crimes sometime next year.
The suspect, who was 16 at the time these crimes were committed, will be tried as an adult as mandated by state law. Graham is alleged to have shot Conneely during a robbery attempt near the corner of Adams Street and Nahant Avenue on the night of Oct. 9-10.
