THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 18, 2025 Page 7 Revere woman charged with three separate attacks in East Boston within minutes Special to Th e Advocate O n July 10, 2025, a Revere woman was arraigned in Suff olk Superior Court after being indicted by a grand jury for attacking four people in Maverick Square in East Boston within a matter of minutes back on May 10, leaving one victim with multiple gunshot wounds, Suff olk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden announced. Amya Yarde Lydon, 21, of Revere, was charged with armed assault to murder, assault and battery with a fi rearm, assault and battery, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and several fi rearm offenses. Judge Sarah Kim found Lydon dangerous and set bail at $5,000 with GPS monitoring and home confi nement. Yarde Lydon is due back in court on August 26 for a pretrial conference. (All charged individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.) On May 10, prosecutors said, Yarde Lydon committed three separate attacks on four diff erent victims in Maverick Square. Yarde Lydon fi rst confronted and attacked a juvenile victim on the inbound platform of the MBTA’s Maverick Station at around 10:40 p.m. The 15-year-old victim was not known to Yarde Lydon and was hit, pushed and punched during the altercation. Reportedly, Yarde Lydon then exited the station and within minutes pistol-whipped two other victims who were in the area of Lewis Mall eating dinner from a local food truck. These two victims were also not known to Yarde Lydon. After striking the victims multiple times with the gun, Yarde Lydon’s attention was drawn to a bystander who was recording the altercation involving the two victims on a cell phone. Yarde Lydon walked over to the bystander, displayed a fi rearm and then fi red fi ve shots. The victim was struck and sustained multiple gunshot wounds on his left arm, hip, abdomen and right buttocks. Allegedly, Yarde Lydon fled the scene and reentered the MBTA’s Maverick Station at 10:44 p.m. still in possession of a loaded large capacity fi rearm. As Yarde Lydon walked toward the crowded outbound platform, she collided with another patron before dropping the loaded fi rearm to the ground when she was stopped by Boston Police. The fi rearm recovered was a 9 mm Smith & Wesson semiautomatic. “This chaotic spasm of violence left four people injured and probably many others traumatized by witnessing such terrible scenes. We will provide all the support these victims want and need as the case moves forward,” Hayden said.
