She Considered Him a Close Friend. He Lured Her to a Parking Lot Where She Ended Up Dead: Police

Charline Rosemond was over the moon shen she finally found the car of her dreams that happened to be in her budget: a used Lexus for $4,100.

The 23-year-old Everett, Mass., resident learned about the car from a man she considered one of her closest friends, Roberto Jeune, authorities allege.

He told her he had a friend who could find the car she was looking for at a good price.

Then, on April 7, 2009, the promising young woman vanished. 

Days later, after her distraught family notified police, her body was found slumped in her father’s car in a Union Square parking lot with a gunshot wound to the head.

For years the case was cold. Until now.

On Thursday, April 10, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Somerville Police Chief Shumeane Benford announced that they had arrested a suspect in the 15-year-old case: Heinsky Anacreon, 38, of Malden.

After a lengthy investigation, Anacreon was indicted on charges of first-degree murder in connection with Rosemond’s 2009 death, they said in the statement.

He is also charged with attempt to willfully mislead a police officer, and attempt to willfully mislead an attorney on May 21, 2024, when he allegedly tried to obstruct justice during a proffer session with authorities, Ryan and Benford said in the statement.

They also provide details of the nightmare Rosemond allegedly faced when she was tricked into thinking she was buying a car.

At the time of her death, Ryan and Benford said in the statement, Rosemond was living with her family in Everett and working at a car dealership in Brighton. She had told friends and family that she was planning to buy a used Lexus that Jeune said his friend could get for her.

On April 7, 2009, after withdrawing $4,100 in cash from the bank earlier that week, Rosemond found herself in a desolate parking lot behind a variety store in Union Square where Jeune had told her to meet him, they alleged in the statement.

There she found Jeune and his friend, Heinsky Anacreon, but no Lexus.

“Acting together,” they alleged in the statement, Anacreon and Jeune “induced the victim to bring the cash she had withdrawn to a remote parking lot, where she was shot and killed.”

“Together, Jeune and Anacreon used that car as bait to gain the victim’s trust.”

After the murder, Anacreon allegedly admitted to a close confidant that he had provided the .44 Magnum firearm that was used to kill Rosemond and that he had disposed of the murder weapon by throwing it into a body of water, the statement alleged.

The murder weapon has never been recovered. Jeune died of natural causes in Philadelphia, Pa., on July 8, 2024.

The pair “left her body in a parking lot for days,” Ryan said, and even allegedly celebrated the killing with a bottle of champagne

Anacreon remains held in a Massachusetts jail as he awaits trial, according to online jail records.

It is unclear whether he has retained an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
