Amen Lacy, a 17-year-old African-American from Boston, was shot after a high school basketball game in Mission Hill on the evening of December 6, 2017. He was one of three people struck when gunfire broke out in the crowd; a third victim survived after being shot in the back. Amen was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and died on December 8, 2017.

Also killed in the shooting was 19-year-old Jose Montero. The attack pierced a community already alarmed by a rise in youth-involved homicides that year and prompted activists to speak out about escalating gun violence among young people in the city. As reported, no arrests have been publicly announced and the Boston Police Department continues to investigate.

Anyone who knew Amen, Jose, or who has information about the December 6 Mission Hill shooting is urged to come forward with tips that might help bring answers.
