Dorchester man indicted in shopowner's slaying
By Elizabeth Ratto, Globe Correspondent
An 18-year-old man was indicted today on four charges, including first-degree murder, in the killing of a shopowner in Dorchester late last year, the Suffolk district attorney's office said.
Gary Johnson of Dorchester also faces an armed robbery charge and gun charges in the shooting death of Mumin Manavoglu, 45, of Brockton on Nov. 1, 2007.
Johnson allegedly walked in the victim's Norfolk Street restaurant, Stalex Pizza, at about 9:30 a.m. and robbed Manavoglu of $60 at gunpoint.
Manavoglu followed Johnson out of the shop, chasing him. Johnson allegedly turned and shot, striking the victim once in the head.
Johnson was arrested by Boston Police not far from the scene. His indictment moves the case into Superior Court. He will be arraigned there within the next two weeks, prosecutors said.
