A fourth person has been charged in connection with the 2017 shooting of 22-year-old Asiyanna Jones.
The Berkshire District Attorney's Office says Dayanlee Bracero-Quirindo was arraigned on two counts of misleading a police officer in Berkshire County Superior Court Wednesday.
Three others have been charged with murder in this case, Carey Pilot, Gary Linen, and Elizabeth Perez.
Jones was killed in October of 2017. Police say she was sitting in her car when she was hit by stray gunfire in Pittsfield.

The third person charged in the shooting death of 22-year old Asiyanna Jones in 2017 has pleaded not guilty.
Elizabeth Perez, 27, was arrested by Massachusetts State Police last week on a grand jury indictment for murder handed up in June.
Jones was shot and killed as she sat in a car in 2017.
Prosecutors believe Perez assaulted and beat Jones with the intent of murdering her.
Two other suspects face murder charges in connection with the killing.
Both Gary Linen and Carey Pilot had those charges reinstated after they were dropped over questions about grand jury evidence.
"Law enforcement did a fantastic job with their investigation into this case,” said Berkshire County District Attorney Andrea Harrington. “My office presented this case to the grand jury over a series of days and weeks. And they returned this indictment for first-degree murder and for misleading the police."
A fourth suspect who also had murder charges dropped is no longer facing prosecution.
A pre-trial hearing for Perez is scheduled for August 8.
