Arraignment slated in Chelsea homicide

By Globe Staff

A 21-year-old Chelsea man who had been asked by his mother and her boyfriend to leave his home allegedly forced his way back in Tuesday and stabbed the boyfriend to death.

Eugene Teixeira is facing arraignment today in Chelsea District Court on a charge of home invasion and murder in the death of Shadeed Wiggins, 25, who sustained eight stab wounds and defensive stab wounds to his hands in the alleged attack at a Chester Avenue home.

Prosecutors said that Wiggins had joined the mother in asking Teixeira and another of her sons, who was 16, to leave the home.

But they returned armed with baseball bats and forced their way inside, attacking Wiggins, prosecutors said. The 16-year-old is also facing charges of home invasion and disorderly conduct.
