Man Extradited to Boston From Dominican Republic for 2014 Mattapan Fatal Stabbing

A man accused of killing another man in 2014 was extradited to Boston from the Dominican Republic to face arraignment.

Police arrested 30-year-old Freidy Baez of Boston shortly before 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Boston Police Department officers in the Fugitive Unit responded to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, arresting Baez on an outstanding warrant for the murder of George Sanchez.

Baez allegedly stabbed Sanchez just after midnight on Sept. 21, 2014 in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood. Police say when they arrived at the scene, Sanchez was lying on the ground with multiple stab wounds. He was taken to Boston Medical Center where he later died.

Baez is expected to be arraigned at the Suffolk Superior Court. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
