Joel McKernan, Monteiro-Terry's youth football coach, said at the time that the teen was a student at Brockton Champion High School.
"It's just a very tragic, senseless loss," McKernan said. "He was a really good kid, an enthusiastic kid. He loved the game of football, was a good athlete, all his teammates loved him. One of those kids everyone was always drawn to."
Two other people were also indicted in the case - 21-year-old Alexandria Rodrigues was charged with perjury and 21-year-old William Houston was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and accessory before the fact.
