LAWRENCE (AP) - A judge ordered a Lawrence man held without bail
following a fatal shooting outside a house party in the city last weekend.
Authorities charged Ismael Calixto with murder and weapons offenses, and the
18-year-old appeared Tuesday in Lawrence District Court for an arraignment.
His lawyer couldn't be immediately reached for comment after court.
Police say the defendant shot 18-year-old Richard Bonilla of Lowell at about
1 a.m. Sunday.
Bonilla was flown to a Boston hospital, where he died of his injuries at
about 4:30 p.m.
Police think gunfire erupted after a verbal altercation outside the party
escalated.
A witness told police the argument started after three young women showed up
but were denied access to the party.
The victim's death marked Lawrence's second homicide this year.
