Squires-Lee ordered the release of Raymond Gaines, 67, who was convicted in 1975 of participating in the slaying of Roxbury shop owner Peter Sulfaro the year before during a robbery at the establishment. Gaines, though convicted of murder, wasnât alleged to be the trigger man but had been accused of joining two other men in the heist on Dec. 10, 1974.
