BOSTON (July 24) -- On the fourth anniversary of her brother's slaying, a woman lighting candles at a makeshift shrine to him was gunned down, killed at about the same spot, on the same day and at nearly the same hour as her older sibling.

Police said they don't know who shot her or why.

The woman was killed Saturday at about 11:30 p.m. in the city's Roxbury neighborhood on a one-way street close to a mass transit station and within view of Boston police headquarters.

Police declined to give her identity, but friends and a relative identified her as Analicia Perry, 20, of the South End neighborhood. She had a 4-year-old daughter and had lived with her mother and sister about a mile from where her brother were killed.

"What are they going to tell that baby? She's only 4," Cleatha Rainey, whose daughter was a friend of Perry's, said Monday. "This is scary."

Robert Perry was 26 when he was shot several times on July 22, 2002, on the sidewalk next to his apartment complex. Police identified a man they said was the shooter, but he was never arrested and later was himself found shot to death.

"It's crazy," their sister, Chyneatha Perry, told the Boston Herald for Monday's editions. "Everyone thinks it's a dream that we're going to wake up from.

"How does this happen? The same day. The same place. Four years ago."

On Saturday night, Chyneatha Perry said the sisters marked the anniversary of their brother's death as they have each year, leaving pictures of him at the scene and lighting candles.

"It was a windy day and she'd driven by there and seen the candles had gone out," Chyneatha Perry said. "She went to my sister's house and dropped off her daughter, then went down there. ... She was kneeling and lighting a candle when it happened."

On Monday, friends placed teddy bears and candles at a sidewalk memorial. Analicia Perry planned to attend Quincy College and wanted to be a nurse, friends said.

This really does suck!!! I find this bizarre with the coincidences connected with her brothers death. What is worse is that she left behind a 4 yr. old daughter!! I feel for the family and that little girl.

That's horrible. The same spot? Good grief.

I feel so sorry for her family and her child....

Why did they shot her?Was it to do withhis brother?

without enough details my imagination makes it sound kinda vendetta-ish

I'm thinking that the gang members who were behind the original murder were probably driving by and saw the sister lighting candles. Her poor daughter will never have her mother, what a piece of crap this shooter is firing at a woman lighting candles.

Wow.. how tragic! :-(

Sick and wrong

That's just sad

Sounds like some kinda revenge somebody is taking on this family; It's not coincidence. They shot a woman lighting candles! Really sick cowards!

cowards shooting a woman whos lighting candles for her bro's death, cant believe some of these pathetic beings are even alive >:(

Talk about failure of the Judicial system.

Wow, that's horrible.

gang members are some of the lowest most vile examples of human beings you will find on this planet. they do not know nor do they practice any kind of righteousness. the coward who did this was most likely a gang member with a vendetta.

poor kid
