"This appears to be a middle-of-the-day altercation that went to the very worst of extremes. As we see time and again, this type of quick, careless decision-making ends lives and ruins others," Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement.
Prosecutors say Hughes and Simmons had gotten into an altercation at the park earlier that day, with Hughes allegedly brandishing a box cutter and Simmons hitting her with a cane.
Investigators identified Hughes through eyewitnesses, video, and 'various circumstantial means.' Members of the Boston Police Department's Fugitive Unit arrested Hughes Friday afternoon in the vicinity of Hammond Street.
Simmons, who also went by 'CeCe,' was living at the Woods Mullen Shelter for homeless women at the time of her death, described as someone who faced many personal difficulties.
