Suspect in quadruple stabbing nabbed in in Chicago

Revere – The suspect in a 2005 quadruple stabbing outside the Wonderland train station has been arrested in Chicago, according to Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley.
Ervin Memushaj, 26, of South Boston, was arrested Monday night by the FBI after “extensive efforts to locate him,” Conley’s spokesman Jake Wark said.
Memushaj allegedly stabbed four men in the train station parking lot the early morning of Feb. 12, 2005. Two of the men were critically injured.
The victims were a 27-year-old Revere man and three men from Winthrop, ages 22, 25 and 26.
“Maybe he thought he could outrun us,” Conley said. “Maybe he thought he could wait us out. The fact is that there’s no distance and no span of time that will derail our efforts to hold a violent offender like this one accountable under the law.”
Investigators zeroed in on Memushaj after one of the victims said he recognized the suspect as the man who allegedly threw a bottle at one of his family members in Cambridge at an earlier date.
When the victim confronted Memushaj at the Revere parking lot, the suspect allegedly ran to his car and retrieved a knife.
MBTA Transit Police applied and received an arrest warrant for Memushaj but he fled Massachusetts when they tried to arrest him, authorities said.
“The search for violent offenders has no boundaries,” stated MBTA Transit Police Chief Paul MacMillan. “The public should know that regardless of where the crime occurs, we all work together to bring justice for the victims.”
Wark said rendition proceedings have begun to bring Memushaj back to Massachusetts, where he will be charged with one count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and three counts of aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
