According to police, officers responded to 10 Amory Terrace around 4:42 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4, and found Coke with a stab wound. He was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died.

Investigators haven't said what led them to identify Albert-Scott as the suspect, or what the motive was.

More details are expected to be revealed in Roxbury District Court when Albert-Scott is arraigned. It wasn't immediately clear if he had obtained an attorney.
