A Massachusetts man was arrested after he allegedly killed a 15-year-old he was in a ‘relationship with’ just hours before she was set to graduate from middle school. Trevor Bady, 21, of Tewksbury, claimed to be dating Ahliana Dickey, who was found dead inside her family home in Lowell on Saturday, according to Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan.
Bady was being held in jail after being arraigned at Lowell District Court on Tuesday on murder charges in connection to her death, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said. On June 14, Dickey was supposed to attend her eighth-grade graduation at Lowell Middle School. But when she failed to show up, a family member went to check on her and found her body inside her bedroom.
The teen had multiple gunshot wounds and shell casings were found at the scene. “Ahliana should have been finishing eighth grade on Friday,” Ryan said at a press conference on Monday. He said Dickey had confided in a number of people that Bady was abusing her, and that he had threatened her many times in the past, including as recently as last week.
Bady allegedly killed Dickey on Friday when they two got into an argument, he said. A witness who called 911 just after midnight told police they heard a female screaming “get off me, get away from me, I don’t want to be with you anymore.” The argument was followed by gunshots, the caller said.
When Lowell police responded to the scene, they did not find anyone. Surveillance footage shows t.
