On the evening of August 12, 2012, Kristen Lartey, 22, was fatally shot while sitting in a parked car on Harlem Street in Dorchester. Lartey, from Hyde Park and a recent St. John’s University graduate, was one of three women killed when an unknown gunman opened fire on the vehicle at about 9:30 p.m.; a fourth woman in the car was wounded but survived.

The other victims were Genevieve Marie Philip, 22, of Milton, and Sharrice Perkins, 22, of Dorchester. Investigators told the public they did not believe the attack was random and suggested it may have been gang-related, with one occupant potentially singled out, but they have not identified a specific target. Police released images of a light-colored or white SUV, possibly a newer Saturn Vue or Chevrolet Captiva, seen near the shooting and thought to be connected.

No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Kristen or has information about that night or the vehicle, please come forward.
