A 25-year-old local man was killed Tuesday afternoon, the result of a domestic dispute between him and his girlfriend’s son.
“Officers responded to a 911 call of an unknown disturbance. It appeared to be family related,” said Chelsea Police.Captain Keith Houghton.  “The officers observed the victim with multiple stab wounds in the torso area.”
Police first got the call at 3:45 p.m. and as they arrived at the scene, the victim, whose name is being withheld by police, was still alive but later died at Boston Medical Center.
Police were able to arrest one juvenile right on scene , but then had to search for 21-year-old Eugene Texera of Malden after he fled the area.
“State Police brought in the dogs and tried to track him but lost the scent due to the rain,” said Houghton. “Later on. we got some info that he was in Cambridge,and with the help of his family and Cambridge Police were able to bring him into custody.”
Neither the suspects nor victim were known to local police prior to this incident. All are believed to have recently moved to the area from Cambridge.
This is the third homicide of the year for Chelsea. The city averages approximately 2 to 3 homicides a year, said Houghton.
“Any number is concerning, but if we don’t have any more this year it should be about average,” said Houghton. “The bright side is that they are all unrelated. They  are all isolated incidents. We do not have groups going around town committing these murders.”
            Texera is charged with home invasion and murder, while the juvenile is being charged with home invasion and disorderly conduct.
