在街上被人推倒撞地 72歲華裔婦女辭世

薩福克郡(Suffolk)檢察官康雷(Daniel F. Conley)昨(十)日表示,在波士頓華埠被人摔倒在地的老婦,已證實為72的雷玉珍(譯音,Yuzhen Lei)。
檢察官表示,1991年6月9日出生的24女子黨英(Tajanetta Downing),七月八日早上七點半左右,在彩絲街(Chauncy)和益士石街(Essex)交界處附近擦身而過,身體有過短暫接觸,之後,據黨英把華埠居民雷玉珍撞倒在地,使她頭部嚴重受傷。七月九日傍晚,雷玉珍在塔芙茨醫療中心辭世。
由於有民眾目擊事件經過,波士頓警察當天早上就找到黨英,詢問事由,然後逮捕了她,控以激烈攻擊,毆打六十以上老人罪。她在應繳75,000元保釋金下被扣押。她在涉及其他兩宗與此無關罪案的保釋,也因而作廢。
黨英聲稱自己住在牙買加平原(Jamaica Plain)及羅倫斯(Lawrence)。她在2013年時因為毆打一名住在哥倫比亞路上的男子,以及趕到現場處理案件的警察而被控。檢察官要求200元的保釋金,釋放了她。當她一連兩次都未出庭後,檢察官要求把保釋金提高到1000元,她再次被釋放。他還被控以在JFK/麻州大學車站向制止她逃票的交通警察(Transit police)丟頻果,錢包,背包。檢察官在那宗案件中要求保釋金500元,一名法官只徵收150元。
黨英預定於八月五日再次出庭。
薩福克郡檢察官辦公室表示,雷玉珍的確切死因和方式,還待法醫確認。
雷玉珍身後遺有兩子一女,五名孫輩。

Victim Identified as Death Follows Chinatown Assault

BOSTON, July 10, 2015—The elderly woman who died after a physical assault in Chinatown has been identified as 72-year-old Yuzhen Lei, Suffolk County District Atrtorney Daniel F. Conley said.
Lei, a resident of Chinatown, passed away yesterday evening at Tufts Medical Center, where she had been hospitalized. Prosecutors say TAJANETTA DOWNING (D.O.B. 6/9/91) shoved her during an incident Wednesday morning, at which time she fell and hit her head on the pavement, causing a serious head injury.
Thanks to a civilian witness, Boston Police located and interviewed Downing later that morning, leading to her arrest and arraignment on charges of aggravated assault and battery and assault and battery on a person 60 or older. She was held on $75,000 cash bail and her open bail on two unrelated cases was revoked.
Downing, who claims addresses in Lawrence and Jamaica Plain, was charged in 2013 with assaulting a man at a Columbia Road residence and then assaulting the Boston Police officers who responded to the scene. Prosecutors requested $200 cash bail and she was released on her own recognizance. When she defaulted on two separate court dates, prosecutors requested $1000 bail. She was again released on her own recognizance. She was also charged with throwing an apple, purse, and backpack at a Transit Police officer who stopped her for fare evasion at JFK/UMass station. Prosecutors requested $500 bail in that case and a judge imposed $150.
In the most recent case, prosecutors say Downing and Lei crossed paths in the area of Essex and Chauncy streets at about 7:30 Wednesday morning. Investigators believe they had some fleeting physical contact, after which Downing allegedly shoved Lei. Lei fell to the ground and hit her head on the pavement.
Civilian witnesses in the area contacted Boston Police to report their observations of the encounter. Officers located Downing and spoke to her. Based on statements she made during the course of that interview, detectives placed her under arrest.
Lei was rushed to Tufts Medical Center with a serious, life-threatening head injury and died yesterday evening. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause of her death, and prosecutors have not ruled out additional charges against Downing.
Downing was represented at arraignment by attorney Thomas Glynn. She will return to court on Aug. 5.
