On the evening of October 3, 2011, 23-year-old Paula Jacobs was visiting her grandmother at the Orchard Gardens Housing Development in Roxbury when at least two gunmen opened fire in a courtyard where she stood with friends. Paula was struck in the neck; her mother, nearby, called her inside and found her wounded. Paula told her mother, Mommy, I got shot, and was taken to Boston Medical Center, where she died six days later on October 9, 2011.

Surveillance video from that night shows a silver or gray late-model Dodge Charger stop at a nearby intersection, two figures leave the vehicle, run to the courtyard, and return to the car four seconds later before it sped off. Ballistic evidence linked the guns used in Paula’s shooting to two other unsolved 2011 shootings in Dorchester and Roxbury, one killing a 20-year-old man and another injuring a 4-year-old boy. Despite witnesses, no one has identified the shooters and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information about the Dodge Charger, the two individuals seen on video, or the shootings is asked to contact Boston police.
