Killing Suspects To Plead Guilty

Two suspects involved in May 2009 Kirkland shooting plead to lesser charge

Cosby fled Kirkland House and travelled up Dunster Street towards Mt. Auburn Street.

Witnesses reported that Cosby, who was bleeding from his lower torso, collapsed on the ground and asked for water.

He was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where his mother Denise Cosby, said he died hours later.

Smith called a cab and used the driver’s phone to help Copney, Aquino, and Jiggetts escape, Leone said in a March 2010 press release.

The three men then took a bus from South Station to New York, where all three men are from.

Smith allegedly hid the murder weapon, lied to the police, and misled the grand jury when she testified.

When Smith returned to Harvard the day after the shooting, she told the police that her boyfriend’s name was Jordan Coombs and that he left the University hours before the murder, according to Leone.

Chanequa N. Campbell, a former undergraduate, previously denied any involvement in the incident and has not been charged to date, but on Friday, according to the Globe, she admitted to making drug deals with Copney.

The University denied both Smith and Campbell their diplomas in 2009.
