NO BAIL IN FATAL CHELSEA BEATING

The Chelsea man who allegedly beat 32-year-old Melvin Cortes with a bat, killing him, was arraigned on a murder charge last Thursday, Feb. 23, after his return from Ohio, where he fled after the fatal encounter.

Kamaya Farikafi, 33, of Chelsea, was ordered held without bail. He will return to court on March 14.

Assistant District Attorney Lynn Feigenbaum told the court that Cortes, a resident of Everett, was badly beaten by a man wielding a baseball bat on the evening of Feb. 5 in the vicinity of Congress Avenue and Shurtleff Street. Cortes suffered injuries that claimed his life at Massachusetts General Hospital on Feb. 11.

In the hours and days following the assault, Chelsea Police detectives and State Troopers assigned to Conley’s office interviewed witnesses, recovered surveillance imagery from nearby cameras, and gathered physical evidence that led to a warrant for Farikafi’s arrest. With the assistance of the State Police Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section and, later, US Marshals, Farikafi was apprehended Feb. 15 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He waived extradition proceedings and was returned to Massachusetts Feb. 22.

The motive for the assault remains under investigation and anyone with information on the attack itself is urged to share it with Chelsea Police at 617-466-4880 or the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit at 617-727-8817.

DEPORTED MAN RETURNS, BREAKS INTO HOME

A man who had been deported previously from Chelsea in 2014 returned to the city and was arrested for breaking into a home last week, Feb. 22.

The federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) put a detainer on the man, and was likely to take custody of him for yet another deportation.

Chief Brian Kyes said this particular detainer and deportation were routine felony deportations and not related to any of the new executive orders that redefine what crimes are targeted for detainers.

On  Feb. 22 at 11:35 p.m., officers responded to 25 Chester Ave. on the report of a man breaking into the  apartment. The caller stated that a man, whom she had seen hanging around the outside of her house previously, had entered her apartment through the back door and was rummaging through her drawers. She told officers she startled him while he was going through her things, and he ran back outside through the same rear door. Officers found the suspect crouched next to the trash bins on the outside alleyway of the house.

The suspect was positively identified as the man that had entered her house and was placed under arrest. The subject was later found out to be wanted by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Kevin Rosales, homeless, was charged with unarmed burglary and an immigration detainer.
