A second man, Kenny Jnleys, faces arraignment on Oct. 5 on gun charges in connection with Andrade's death, according to the DA's office, which provided this account of how she died:

Assistant District Attorney Andrew Kettlewell told the court that Mr. Leggett, Mr. Jnleys, four juvenile females - including Ms. Andrade - and others were gathered in adjoining hotel rooms at the Regency Boston on the night of February 4, 2021. Evidence gathered through the course of an extensive investigation by Boston Police homicide detectives indicates that the individuals were partying, drinking and taking selfies - including photos of members of the group posing with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol that Mr. Jnleys allegedly had in his possession. At approximately 11:30 p.m., Mr. Leggett was handling the gun in a playful manner when Ms. Andrade swatted at his hand, causing him to accidentally discharge a single round of ammunition. The bullet struck the victim in the head, killing her.
