Dorchester man arrested today for 1988 Roxbury murder

A Dorchester man is scheduled for arraignment Friday on charges he murdered Karen Taylor, 25, by repeatedly stabbing her at 37 Williams St. in Roxbury on May 27, 1988, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

According to the DA's office, a Suffolk County grand jury indicted James Holloman, now 65, on a charge of first-degree murder today.

According to the DA's office:

In the late afternoon of May 27, 1988, Taylor's mother called to speak with her daughter. Taylor’s three-year-old daughter answered the phone and told her grandmother that her mother was sleeping and she could not wake her up. The mother went to Taylor's apartment at 37 Williams St. in Roxbury, but was unable to get into the building. She went around the back of the building and crawled through the window of her daughter’s first floor bedroom, where she discovered her daughter lying face-down in a pool of blood. Taylor had numerous stab wounds to her chest, head, and neck area.

Taylor had been stabbed 15 times.

Innocent, etc.
