Perris Haynes, a 29-year-old father of two from Dorchester, was killed in a double shooting on Harold Street in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood in the early morning hours of July 20, 2013. Haynes, described as a hardworking man and a DJ, had just finished a gig and called his girlfriend around 1:00 a.m. to say he was heading home; roughly half an hour later he was struck by gunfire. He was not believed to be the intended target.

Friends and family remembered Haynes as a devoted father and partner who avoided the street violence common in the area and who was frequently relied on by neighbors. His body was found by a woman whose own son had been a victim of gun violence, and a sidewalk memorial was created where people gathered to mourn him. As of February 2014 the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office said the investigation was ongoing, and there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects in the years that followed.

If anyone knew Perris, saw activity on Harold Street that night, or has information that could help, please share what is known with investigators.
