Two charged with perjury related to Theater District murder

Two Lynn residents were arrested today on charges they misled police and a grand jury investigating the way a Revere man was gunned down on Tremont Street in April.

Luis Sepelveda, 27, and Janice Hardy, 22, are both pals of Peter Castillo, a Salem man who went missing before police could arrest him on a murder charge, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

The two were indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday, the same day a formal murder indictment against Castillo was released.

Suffolk Superior Court Clerk Magistrate Gary D. Wilson set Sepelveda's bail at $5,000 and Hardy's at $2,500.

Not long after the murder, police released a video showing men running out of a parking garage and saying whoever killed Perez - an Army veteran just back from Afghanistan - had ties to Lynn.

In a statement, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said:

These individuals contributed to the death of Mr. Perez, a decorated veteran who was not given a chance. They should both do substantial time in prison.

Innocent, etc.
