On the evening of September 6, 2023, gunfire on Howard Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts, ended the life of 19-year-old Angie Aristy. Police arrived after a 9:20 p.m. 911 call for shots fired and found Angie with gunshot wounds; paramedics took her to Lawrence General Hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later. Witness accounts say she was sitting in a car with her girlfriend, who was not physically harmed, when the shooting occurred.

Family remembered Angie as smart, talented, strong, and ambitious, with a smile that could brighten a room. A fundraising page described her as having a tender heart, determination to succeed, and someone who cared about others first.

Investigators arrested two teenagers from Lawrence about a week later. Fourteen-year-old Jobe Santiago was charged as an adult with murder and held without bail; a 15-year-old initially faced assault with intent to rob in juvenile court. An Essex County grand jury later returned indictments against both teens, identifying the second suspect as 15-year-old Jayden Torres and charging both with murder and armed robbery. Both were being held without bail as their cases remained pending.

If anyone knew Angie, was with her that night, or has information about the shooting on Howard Street, please come forward.
