On the evening of November 6, 2017, 37-year-old Brent Stevenson, a Black man, was fatally shot in Boston after a violent roadside confrontation. The altercation between Stevenson and another driver began with the two ramming each other’s vehicles near Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston Street, close to Symphony Hall. The other driver then opened fire, striking Stevenson multiple times. His car crashed at 333 Massachusetts Avenue; officers found him inside with critical gunshot wounds and he later died at a hospital.

Authorities treating the case as likely gang-related identified a suspect, Alan Lewis of Brockton. Lewis was described as a 38-year-old Black man, 6 feet 1 inch, stocky, with brown eyes, black hair, and forearm tattoos reading KILLER and BEES. A murder warrant was issued and the U.S. Marshals Service offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Boston Police Department.
