On the night of August 13, 2015, Ashlee Berryman, 21, a mother of a three-year-old from Malden, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Braza Bar and Grill on School Street in Everett. She had been at the venue to support her boyfriend’s performance and was reportedly handing out CDs when a dispute broke out between a group of people. Prosecutors say a man fired multiple rounds into the crowd; one bullet struck Berryman in the back and another injuring a man in the ankle. Family members and investigators describe her as an innocent bystander not the intended target.

The case went unsolved for years. Investigators later alleged a conspiracy to conceal the truth and that the murder weapon was disposed of and never recovered. In January 2024 an indictment named Henry JR Del-Rio, then 27, on first-degree murder and related charges; he was already in federal custody on unrelated matters and has pleaded not guilty to Berryman’s killing.

Did anyone who knew Ashlee or was at the Braza Bar that night see details that might help explain what happened?
