On the evening of May 27, 2013, 23-year-old Lloyd Powell Jr. was fatally shot at 125 Elm Hill Avenue in Boston. Boston Police officers who responded to a report of a person shot found Powell and he was pronounced dead at the scene; the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled his death a homicide.

Lloyd Powell was born in Boston on January 26, 1990, and is survived by his parents, Sophia Barnes and Lloyd Powell, two brothers Eric and Shaun Barnes, and two sisters Hartulena and Shaumekia Powell, along with grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Investigations continued in the months after the shooting, and as of early 2014 no arrests had been announced and no suspects had been publicly identified.

Anyone who knew Lloyd or has information about what happened that night is asked to come forward with tips that might help solve this unsolved homicide.
