On the night of Thursday, May 8, 2014, around 11:00 p.m., officers from the Roxbury district responded to reports of shots fired near Elder Street and Cawfield Street in Dorchester. At 15 Cawfield Street they found 28-year-old Gilson Semedo inside a car with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide.

The Boston Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation and early reports described two Hispanic men as possible suspects, including one in a gray long-sleeved T-shirt and jean shorts, but police later said there were no immediate suspects. The department asked the public to contact the Homicide Unit or CrimeStoppers with information. No arrests have been publicly announced and the case is listed among the city’s unsolved homicides. He is remembered as a father, son, and brother.

If anyone has information about that night or knew Gilson, please share what you know with investigators.
