A teenage girl was shot dead just hours before her middle school graduation … she was set to attend her middle school graduation later that day, the officials explained.
Ahliana Dickey, 15, was found dead from gunshot wounds in a first-floor bedroom of her home in Lowell on Friday evening, June 14, the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office said.
SHE WAS FOUND DEAD
When she didn’t show up for the graduation, her family became concerned and went to the home to look for her.
The teen’s grandmother called the police to report their tragic discovery around 6:10 p.m., the District Attorney explained.
When police responded to the scene, they found her dead and also learned that Dickey was in an abusive relationship with an older man, who was later identified as 21-year-old Trevor Bady.
Shortly after midnight on Friday, Lowell authorities had received a call from one of Ahliana’s neighbors, who reported that a man and a woman were fighting loudly across the street, the official statement said.
‘But the parties could not be located,’ when police arrived at the scene’, per police.

WHAT INVESTIGATIONS REVEAL
The woman could be heard yelling ‘get off me, get away from me, I don’t want to be with you anymore’ before gunshots rang out, the caller claimed.
Surveillance video retrieved from the scene showed Dickey yelling for help shortly before midnight, and a male suspect leaving her home around the same time, the statement added.
HOW BADY WAS CAUGHT
The day after the killing, police discovered that Bady had taken an Uber to and from Dickey’s home before and after the shooting.
One of the Uber drivers was interviewed, and identified their passenger as Bady.
Bady was arrested in Peabody on Monday, June 17.
He pleaded not guilty to murder, armed home invasion, unlawful possession of a firearm and other charges in Lowell District Court on Tuesday, June 18, and was held without bail.
Two days before Dickey was killed, the teen supposedly told someone that Bady threatened to kill her and her grandmother, the prosecutor said in court, according to CBS News.
Travor Bady is due back in court on July 30.
