Man faces manslaughter for death in a fight behind a Dorchester bakery

A Suffolk County grand jury this week indicted Brian McElhinney, 23, on a charge of manslaughter for the April 17 death of Brian Hingston of Quincy behind the Greenhill Bakery on Adams Street, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

According to the DA's office, the two men, along with some others, had been celebrating a friend's birthday when two other men got into a fistfight behind the bakery.

McElhinney joined in the fight and struck another man. At this point, the evidence suggests, Hingston attempted to intervene and McElhinney struck him once in the face. Hingston fell to the ground, hit his head, and never regained consciousness. He was pronounced dead at Boston Medical Center.

McElhinney will be arraigned July 8, the DA's office reports.

Innocent, etc.
