Wilmary Mejia, of Roxbury, is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court. Under Massachusetts law, arraignments of juveniles ages 14 to 17 who have been charged with homicide will take place in regular session instead of juvenile session.

Both victims were transported to separate Boston hospitals. One of the victims, a 21-year-old woman, died of her injuries, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. The DA’s Office said the second victim, a 17-year-old girl, was seriously wounded in the attack but Boston police said she is expected to survive her injuries.
