On the evening of September 23, 2015, 21-year-old Natho C. Bellegarde was shot on Intervale Street in Dorchester after leaving his mother and grandmother’s home on Hartwell Street. He and his uncle had stopped on the block, which was busy with people, when a man exited a vehicle, approached Natho, and opened fire. Boston Police found him at 96 Intervale Street with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Boston Medical Center and later pronounced dead. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

Bellegarde was a father to a one-year-old son and worked as a concrete mason. Family and friends described him as bright, hardworking, and someone who had matured from a hot headed teen into a cool and collected young man; he also participated in the Trinity Boston Foundation’s Sole Train mentoring program. Detectives from the homicide unit have asked the public for help; no arrests or public identifications of suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved.
