By adamg on Fri, 05/13/2011 - 10:54am
Boston Police report arresting a Dorchester teen on charges he shot another teen to death on the platform of the Savin Hill Red Line station.
Police say Nhu Nguyen, 19, fled to Portland, Maine, where he was arrested last night.
Nguyen is charged with firing a single fatal shot into Derek Matulina during a brawl in which Matulina was attacked by several other teens around 2 p.m. on Saturday.
He's scheduled for arraignment today in Portland on a fugitive-from-justice charge. A date for his arraignment in Dorchester District Court on murder charges has yet to be set, police say, adding MBTA Transit Police and the Suffolk County District Attorney's office were also involved in the investigation.
The Dorchester Reporter has details on a Savin Hill Civic Association meeting next week with city officials and police about the fight, murder and the Savin Hill Avenue house many of the alleged participants in the fight fled to afterwards.
Innocent, etc.

Nguyen?
According to a comment on the the original report, the landlord's name is My Van Nguyen (who lives in a $6 million house in Weston). A common name, but might they be related?
Possibly but at the same,
Possibly but at the same, possibly not. I'm a Nguyen and I am, for sure, not related to those people. They are a disgrace to the Vietnamese community or whatever.
Statistically speaking, not likely
40% of Vietnamese people have this last name, and it was the 57th-most-common last name in the U.S. in 2000.
BIZZARO WORLD
I know the T is the land of the bizarre but I find it hard to believe that an asian gang attacks a white male who was minding his business and then executes him.
May the victim rest in PEACE
Why does this crime have to
Why does this crime have to turn into some sort of commentary on racism?
Let's turn it into age-ism:
A bunch of teens jumped another teen and a teen of the bunch shot the 'another teen.'
