Ricky McKinney, 34, was fatally shot inside the barbershop on Tremont Street where he worked on the evening of January 14, 2014, shortly before 6:00 PM. Described as a kind-hearted, hardworking barber and a father to eight children, McKinney was known to friends and family as Rick or Slick. He was the third homicide victim in the city that year.

McKinney was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead by emergency physicians. One key unanswered question is who entered the shop that evening and why McKinney was targeted.

If anyone knew Ricky, saw activity at the Tremont Street shop that night, or has information that could help, please contact the Boston Police Department.
