Slain woman wasn't a murder-case witness, DA says

A woman gunned down over the weekend was not a witness in a murder case, the Globe quotes DA Dan Conley as saying.

The Herald quoted police sources on Sunday that Danielle Grady had witnessed a murder about a year ago - and that the suspect in that case was due to go on trial soon. Tom Menino repeated the contention on NECN on Sunday. Conley says it's just not true.

According to the Globe, Grady's boyfriend was Jeffrey Jones of Mattapan. Jones was cut down in a hail of bullets along with longtime reputed gangbanger Jarrid Campbell of Roxbury last month.
