Daniel Skeens, a 31-year-old African-American man, was shot and killed on May 2, 2014, in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood. The shooting occurred about 3:14 p.m. at 9 Gladeside Avenue. Officers found Skeens on the sidewalk with apparent gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

Police appealed to the public after the shooting and were reportedly looking for a brown 2005 Lexus sedan that was seen leaving the area around the time of the attack. The Boston Police Department lists the death as an unsolved homicide; no arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced as of late 2024.

Anyone who knew Daniel, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the brown Lexus is asked to contact the Boston Police Department to help bring answers to his family.
