Shaylyn Moran Case

Twenty-year-old Shaylyn Moran, half of what police said was a murderous duo who killed the mother of her former boyfriend and then boasted about it on social media, pleaded guilty Thursday and was immediately sentenced to life in prison.

Moran, of Pawtucket, was 18 at the time when police said she conspired with a new beau to get even with a former boyfriend after the two had a violent falling out from their brief relationship.

Superior Court Justice Kristin E. Rodgers sentenced Moran to life in prison for the murder of Cheryl Smith with two additional 10-year consecutive sentences for carrying a pistol without a license and conspiring to commit murder.

Smith, 54, died the night of Jan. 1, 2020, when she opened the door of her Baxter Street home in Pawtucket. Greeting her, police said, was Moran’s new fiancé, Jack Doherty, who shot her several times.

Minutes after the killing, police say, Doherty, now 25, rode in a Lyft and tapped out a Snapchat message to Moran: “now this is for life.”

Moran, staying nearby at the Hampton Inn, replied with a heart emoji and words of endearment: “i’m yours forever and you mine.”

Doherty, of New York, remains held without bail awaiting trial on murder and other charges.

Had the case gone to trial prosecutors were prepared to show that the pair had conspired “to shoot and kill anyone who answered the door at the home where Moran’s ex-boyfriend lived,” said the attorney general’s office in a statement.

During a bail hearing for Moran in February 2020 before Rodgers, investigators presented a minute-by-minute timeline of some of the moments from that night, derived from the couple’s phones and social media records.

Moran’s former boyfriend, Leonard Troufield III, also testified at the hearing that he had met Moran on the internet in the fall of 2019. On the first day they met in person, in October, she stayed with him overnight at his mother’s Baxter Street home.

On the fourth day of their relationship, an argument ensued. Moran stormed out of the house and by day’s end had filed police charges against Troufield, alleging assault.

Notwithstanding the allegation and a no-contact order against Troufield, the couple “continued this toxic relationship,” Judge Rodgers said.

Soon Moran began texting Troufield threats, police have said.

“I’ll kill you,” at least one text message said.

Troufield testified the threats extended to his brother, to his dog, to his mother and the daycare center where she worked.

Police said evidence recovered from phone and social media records showed Moran may have recruited Doherty to do Troufield harm.

Among the evidence they presented at the bail hearing was a Dec. 28, 2019, Facebook message Moran sent Doherty: “When I leave for Maine,” where her mother lives, “I’m a need u to hit up Leonard so I can stain and then switch the state.”

Doherty replied: “lol u just let me know.”

The next day, Doherty revisited Moran’s plans to move to Maine in another Facebook message.

Judge Rodgers summarized the meaning of the message from the bench: Doherty asked if “it’s because she has a beef, thereafter offering to pull up and kill that person today. He also says that the defendant just has to let Mr. Doherty know what’s good, that he loves her and would do anything for her.”

At 9:23 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2019, Doherty sent Moran another message saying he was coming to Rhode Island.

In another message sent the following evening “Mr. Doherty informs the defendant that he’s pulling up with a cannon” — an apparent reference to a gun.

He also arrived with an engagement ring.

Just before 10 p.m. the night of Jan. 1, 2020 — about two hours after Cheryl Smith was killed — police said Doherty posted on Facebook a picture of himself and Moran in bed in their hotel room.

Moran is showing off her engagement ring in front of her face, which sports a tattoo of the crosshairs of a gun scope.

With the photo are the words: “we some fighters and some shooters.”

Within minutes of that posting, a Pawtucket detective, still at the shooting scene at 100 Baxter St., saw Doherty’s photo and its caption.

By 10:30 p.m. officers were outside the Hampton Inn room where Doherty and Moran were staying. Police said they found a loaded, holstered pistol in Doherty’s backpack with an extra magazine of bullets.

Two years later Craig Price would murder 39-year-old Joan Heaton who he would stab 57 times, her 10-year-old daughter Jennifer who was stabbbed 62 times, and crushed the skull of Heaton’s 7-year-old daughter Melissa who was also stabbed 30 times

Craig Price would be ultimately be arrested and would confess to the four murders. Price would joke that Rhode Island would have to let him go by the time he was twenty one years old and he would make history. Unfortunately he was right and Rhode Island would change the law soon after however it could not be applied to the Price case

However Craig Price would stack up a ton of charges that would lead to more criminal charges in Rhode Island keeping him behind bars. Eventually Rhode Island had enough of Price and he was transferred to a prison in Florida where he would later stab a fellow inmate and sentenced to an additional twenty five years in prison

Craig Price: A Matter Of Time

Craig Price Case

A Florida judge on Friday sentenced infamous serial killer Craig Price, who terrorized Warwick in the 1980s, to serve 25 years in prison for trying to murder a fellow inmate.

Price, 45, agreed to plead guilty to a charge that he stabbed inmate Joshua Davis with a homemade, 5-inch knife blade at the Suwannee Correctional Institution, according to the Suwannee County Clerk of the Circuit Court’s office. He received a 25-year sentence on that charge, plus 10 years’ probation, according to Assistant State Attorney Sandra L. Rosendale.

He received 10 years’ probation for possession of contraband. The probation terms are concurrent, but will be served consecutively to his prison sentence, Rosendale said.

Price agreed to waive 524 days of good-time credit, the clerk’s office said.

If Price violates his probation upon his release, he could be sent back to prison to serve a sentence up to life, Rosendale wrote in an email.

He agreed to be classified as a habitual felony offender.

Rhode Island prosecutors praised the resolution of the case.

“We are extremely grateful for the excellent work by the Third Judicial Circuit of Florida State Attorney’s Office on this case,” Kristy dosReis, spokeswoman for Attorney General Peter F. Neronha’s office, said in an email statement. “It has been clear from the beginning that our Florida colleagues knew how significant this case was to Rhode Island. We are also grateful that, for purposes of public safety, Mr. Price has been sentenced to a long sentence based on his latest acts of violent criminal misconduct.”

Price’s lawyer, Michael Bryant, declined comment.

Documents indicate that Price entered Davis’ cell on April 4, 2017, and repeatedly stabbed him. Davis fled, but Price tackled him and continued the attack. Authorities say the premeditated assault was caught on video and that Price intended to inflict mortal wounds.

Price was arraigned in August 2017, but had refused to enter a plea, instead reserving his right to challenge the legal sufficiency of the charging document, prosecutors said. His trial was repeatedly delayed and, in November, his lawyer sought to get a competency assessment.

Price is perhaps Rhode Island’s most notorious criminal. In 1989, at age 15, he admitted to stabbing and bludgeoning his neighbors — Joan Heaton and her daughters, Melissa and Jennifer — in the Buttonwoods neighborhood of Warwick. He also admitted to committing the unsolved murder of another neighbor, Rebecca Spencer, two years earlier, when he was 13.

Under state law at the time, Price could not be tried and sentenced as an adult, meaning he would have been released from juvenile detention at age 21. He has since been held on a raft of charges, including contempt of court and assault on correctional officers in Rhode Island.

Price’s Rhode Island sentence ran out in October 2017, according to the state Department of Corrections. The Rhode Island attorney general’s office filed a probation violation petition against Price related to a previous Florida assault, a spokeswoman there has said
