Darryl Mitchell, 24, of Randolph, was arraigned Friday morning in Boston Municipal Court after turning himself in to police. Mitchell is being held on $250,000 cash bail and will return to court June 29, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office reported.

According to Assistant District Attorney Masai King, the incident began when Wyman's female companion exchanged words with Mitchell as he drove by the pair on Mass Ave. near Albany Street. When the female relayed the conversation to Wyman, who was several yards behind her, he began a "verbal altercation" with Mitchell, King said.

Mitchell then made a U-turn, driving past Wyman, who began "kicking and punching the car," King said. In response, Mitchell "reached out his window and stabbed Wyman in the chest and sped away," she said.

Wyman was transported to Boston Medical Center where he was rushed into surgery, and later pronounced dead.

Police located Mitchell's vehicle abadoned near 254 Mass Ave. with a "reddish-brown stain believed to be blood" on the driver’s side door. The vehicle, a white Dodge Dynasty, was used to track down Mitchell, who surrendered to police on Thursday.
