More details have emerged that paint a grim picture of Sharell Butler (nicknamed "Lady Red" for her Bloods associations), the 15-year-old accused of last month's brutal murder of John Hopkins-Drago, the Bronx man who ended up cut into pieces in a plastic bag. Today's News has tales of Butler slashing another girl's face with a broken bottle, punching out a security guard and generally gaining a reputation that led one parent to say, “My daughter no longer wanted to hang out with her. She sensed something was wrong about her, and she knew she had to stay away." The paper also interviews her imprisoned partner in crime, high-ranking Blood 19-year-old Robert Pastore. He tells sweet tales of the two baking cookies, renting I Am Legend and referring to her as "Lil' Scrap" (after Scrappy Doo). He has also been charged with statutory rape. He says that Butler stood out as sophisticated, dressing like a “Manhattan girl” in Uggs and stylish clothing from American Eagle. Once again, defenses of Butler were nonspecific—a neighbor telling the paper, “When I see her, I see complete innocence.”
