65-year-old James Holloman to be arraigned for 1988 murder of Karen Taylor due to DNA match.

James Holloman, 65, of Dorchester, is set to be arraigned for the 1988 murder of 25-year-old Karen Taylor in Roxbury. Taylor was found dead with 15 stab wounds. Advances in DNA technology allowed Boston police to match Holloman's DNA, obtained in 2023, to evidence from the crime scene. This breakthrough has led to charges being filed after 36 years of the case remaining unsolved. Further details are anticipated following the arraignment.
