Before fi rst responders arrived, nursing student Kezia Pereria said she ran out of her nearby home in her pajamas. “I heard some gunshots and the guy yelling,” she said. Pereria found Strickland a short time later at 112 Thornton St. suff ering from life-threatening injuries. “I put pressure on the wound; I was evaluating the patient and saw he needed extra help,” she said. “I didn’t expect to have to do all of this on a Monday morning.” Strickland was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Less than 12 hours later, Revere Police announced on Twitter that Andre Tripp, 33, of Revere, had been taken into custody in connection with the shooting. Tripp was arraigned in Chelsea District Court on January 25. He is being held without bail and will be back in court on March 4. Tripp has been charged with murder and the unlawful possession of a fi rearm. Under state law, he could face up to life in prison if convicted. “I’m grateful to my office’s State Police Detective Unit and the Revere Police Department for their tireless work identifying and apprehending the individual accused of Strickland’s murder,” said Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden. “We will not tolerate such senseless violence in our communities and those who would infl ict such incredible and reckless harm should know that we will take every step to hold them accountable. My offi ce is available to support Strickland’s loved ones and the Revere community that has been impacted.”
