On the early morning of August 12, 2012, 34-year-old Jemald Allen was killed in a quadruple shooting on Canterbury Street in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston. Three other people were wounded in the same incident. Boston police pronounced Allen dead at the scene and opened a homicide investigation that produced few public details in the days that followed.

A week later investigators learned that a man named Burrell Ramsey, who was shot and killed by a Boston police officer during a traffic stop in the South End, had been present at the Canterbury Street shooting. Police identified Ramsey’s presence as a significant lead and examined his possible involvement, but that line of inquiry did not produce a charge tied to Allen’s killing.

The Boston Police Department lists Jemald Allen’s death as an unsolved homicide and no arrests have been reported in connection with the Canterbury Street shooting. If anyone has information about that night or remembers activity on Canterbury Street around August 12, 2012, please come forward.
