Michael Depina, 29, was fatally shot on the evening of Friday, June 6, 2014, in Dorchester. The shooting occurred shortly after 8:40 p.m. near 5 Taft Street; officers found him next to an overturned motorcycle with gunshot wounds. He was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators recovered a firearm near Depina’s body and motorcycle, and a second gun was found near the Pleasant Street end of the road. Friends and family set up a makeshift memorial in front of 6 Taft Street. Depina’s brother, a local peace advocate and political activist, publicly urged an end to violence and called for better mental healthcare for underprivileged youth while questioning the motive behind the killing. No arrests have been announced and police continue to seek the public’s help.
