   Lying in a hospital bed with multiple gunshot wounds, his eyes   
   opening periodically, Bampumim Teixeira was arraigned on two   
   counts of murder at Tufts Medical Center in Boston on Monday   
   afternoon.   
      
   A judge standing beside Teixeira — a 30-year-old from Chelsea,   
   Mass. — entered two not-guilty pleas in the killings of Richard   
   Field, 49, and Lina Bolanos, 38 — Boston doctors who were   
   engaged to be married.   
      
   During the arraignment, NBC News reported, Teixeira nodded “only   
   slightly in response to questions.”   
      
   He was ordered to be held without bail, authorities said. If   
   convicted, the maximum sentence Teixeira would face is life in   
   prison without the possibility of parole.   
      
   On Monday morning, a spokesman for the Suffolk County District   
   Attorney’s Office, Jake Wark, told The Washington Post that   
   Teixeira would be charged with two counts of murder but noted   
   that investigators are still probing whether there was a   
   relationship between the accused and the victims, both of whom   
   were anesthesiologists.   
      
   When Boston police entered an 11th-floor penthouse apartment   
   Friday night, they found a gruesome scene: the bodies of a man   
   and a woman bound at the hands, their throats slit and blood on   
   the walls of the luxury condominium. The killer had left cut-up   
   photos of the couple and a message of retribution.   
      
   The discovery of the bodies with “traumatic injuries” followed a   
   call to police about an armed person in the building, an   
   apartment complex on Dorchester Avenue in South Boston, police   
   said. When officers arrived at the building about 8:40 p.m.   
   Friday, a man immediately started shooting at them, prompting   
   police to return fire.   
      
   Officers struck the man and, after a violent struggle, placed   
   him in custody and took him to a hospital for treatment of   
   injuries that were not life-threatening, according to a police   
   statement. No officers were hit by gunfire, but several were   
   treated at hospitals for injuries that were not life-threatening.   
      
   “I mean, you have a guy here who just killed two people,” Boston   
   Police Commissioner William Evans told reporters. “And he had   
   nothing to lose.”   
      
   [In a day of frantic tweets, a senator pleaded with Trump to   
   stop a deportation. It didn’t work.]   
      
   Evans identified the armed man as Bampumim Teixeira.   
      
   Teixeira’s ex-girlfriend told the Boston Globe that he was a   
   former security guard who had just finished a nine-month   
   sentence for robbing two banks. In June, Teixeira demanded money   
   at a Boston bank by passing a note. Two years earlier, he had   
   committed the same crime, according to the Suffolk County   
   District Attorney’s Office.   
      
   It was unclear whether Teixeira had obtained a lawyer.   
      
   Evans told reporters that authorities think the victims and   
   their killer knew one another.   
      
   “That’s what we’re going on, that they were targeted,” Evans   
   told Boston’s CBS affiliate.   
      
   For “someone to come here, go up to the 11th floor, to the   
   penthouse,” Evans told WCVB, “we got to believe that somehow   
   there was some type of knowledge of each other.”   
      
   A key question in the investigation is how the killer gained   
   access to the couple’s apartment, which is in a well-secured,   
   upscale building.   
      
   “You can’t get up there without a key,” building resident Jack   
   Fu told WCVB. “The elevators wouldn’t even open the door for you   
   without a key. So there’s no access unless someone lets you in.”   
      
   In the moments before his death, Field managed to send one last   
   text message to a friend. He pleaded for help, saying there was   
   an armed man inside his home, the Boston Globe and WCVB reported.   
      
   His body and that of his fiancee were found by a SWAT team   
   during a sweep of the building after the shootout between the   
   gunman and police.   
      
   Field was a physician at North Shore Pain Management, and   
   Bolanos was a pediatric anesthesiologist at Massachusetts Eye   
   and Ear. Their patients and colleagues mourned their deaths over   
   the weekend, remembering them as respected members of the   
   medical community.   
      
   “Dr. Bolanos was an outstanding pediatric anesthesiologist and a   
   wonderful colleague in the prime of both her career and life,”   
   John Fernandez, president and chief executive of Massachusetts   
   Eye and Ear, said in a statement.   
      
   Field was described by North Shore Pain Management as a “guiding   
   vision” who was “instrumental” in the creation of the practice   
   in 2010. Before his work there, Field was an anesthesiologist   
   and a pain management specialist at Beverly Hospital and Brigham   
   and Women’s Hospital. His biography said he had been an   
   instructor at Harvard Medical School.   
      
   “His tragic and sudden passing leaves an inescapable void in all   
   of us,” a statement on the clinic’s website read, calling Field   
   “a tremendous advocate for his patients.”   
      
   One of his patients, Debra Harrington, told the Boston Globe   
   that she had seen Field regularly for more than 12 years for   
   treatment of back pain. Even after Harrington moved to   
   Marlborough, she continued to drive more than an hour to see him   
   in Beverly, “because I didn’t want to lose him,” she said. “It   
   was worth it.”   
      
   “I feel like I lost a friend,” Harrington said Sunday night   
   after hearing the news of his death.   
      
   Harrington recalled one time when she was scared before   
   undergoing an epidural. Field stood by her bedside, praying with   
   her.   
      
   “I don’t know what religion he is,” she said. “I said, ‘Will you   
   pray with me?’ He said, ‘Of course I will.’ ”
