Boston police are planning a news conference this afternoon to discuss the murder of 24-year-old Amy E. Lord of South Boston.
The exact time of the news conference at police headquarters has not been determined, the police media relations office said.
A 28-year-old former busboy with a long history of violence has been arrested for attacks on women in the hours both before and after the fatal attack on Lord on Tuesday.
Edwin Alemany has also been described as a “person of interest†in the Lord case by a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.
