When police responded to the scene, they learned that Dickey was in an abusive relationship with an older man, who was later identified as 21-year-old Trevor Bady.
Shortly after midnight on Friday, Lowell authorities had received a call from one of Ahliana’s neighbors, who reported that a man and a woman were fighting loudly across the street, the official statement said.
The woman could be heard yelling “get off me, get away from me, I don’t want to be with you anymore” before gunshots rang out, the caller claimed.
“Police responded to the scene but the parties could not be located,” the official statement explained.

Surveillance video retrieved from the scene showed Dickey yelling for help shortly before midnight, and a male suspect leaving her home around the same time, the write-up added.
The day after the killing, police discovered that Bady had taken an Uber to and from Dickey’s home before and after the shooting.
One of the Uber drivers was interviewed, and identified their passenger as Bady.
Bady, of Tweksbury, was arrested without incident in Peabody on Monday.

Two days before Dickey was killed, the teen supposedly told someone that Bady threatened to kill her and her grandmother, the prosecutor said in court, according to CBS News .

“My worst fear has happened. Loosing (sic) a child, I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone,” Dickey’s father, Scott Dickey, wrote on Facebook Monday.
As of Tuesday afternoon, a GoFundMe for Dickey’s family had raised over $10,600 of its $20,000 goal.
