The boyfriend of 15-year-old Ahliana Dickey will face charges for her murder, which occurred just before her eighth-grade graduation.
Trevor Bady, 21, from Tewksbury, allegedly shot Dickey in her home on Lawrence Street in Lowell, according to police. He is set to face multiple charges, including murder and armed home invasion.
Dickey was scheduled to attend her eighth-grade graduation on June 14. When she did not appear at the ceremony, her family went to her home and discovered her with gunshot wounds on the floor of a first-floor bedroom.
Earlier on June 14, shortly after midnight, police were called to Lawrence Street due to a reported altercation between a man and a woman. The caller reported hearing a woman scream, “Get off me; get away from me. I don’t want to be with you anymore,” followed by gunshots. Although police responded, they were unable to locate the couple at that time.
Police revealed that Bady had a history of abusive behavior toward Dickey. Video footage shows Bady leaving Dickey’s home shortly after midnight on June 14. Additionally, it was discovered that Bady allegedly took an Uber to and from Lawrence Street before and after the incident.
Dickey has been remembered by her loved ones as an inspirational and positive individual.
“A positive person. Really positive person. If I’m down, she’ll bring me up. She wanted to do bright things in life,” said her friend Skyla Guthrie of Lowell.
