Man accused of fatal kidnapping of Jassy Correia heads to trial
Jassy Correia had celebrated her 23rd birthday with friends at a Boston nightclub, and was trying to catch an Uber home. Shortly after 2 a.m. on a cold February morning, she was standing on the sidewalk, holding her shoes in her hand, when a man approached her and led her to a car parked nearby, at one point carrying her on his shoulders, according to video surveillance.
