Nigel Louis Hailey, a 42-year-old man originally from Columbus, Ohio, was shot inside an apartment building at 267 Centre Street near Jackson Square MBTA Station in Jamaica Plain, Boston, in the early hours of Tuesday, September 27, 2016. Officers arrived at about 1:00 a.m. and found Hailey with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Hailey’s family—parents Willie and Deborah Hailey and his children—were left reeling by the sudden, violent loss. The Boston Police Department treated the case as an active homicide investigation, but the motive and circumstances around the shooting have not been publicly disclosed and no arrests or suspects have been identified. Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators to help bring closure to the family.
