Orvin Blanding, a 40-year-old African-American man from Boston, was shot and killed in the early hours of Halloween, October 31, 2010. Boston police responded to a call about a person down just after midnight and found Blanding at the rear of 1150 Harrison Ave in Roxbury with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Boston Medical Center and later pronounced dead. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide and the Boston Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation.

Authorities identified Blanding in the days after the shooting and appealed to the public for help, asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or leave an anonymous tip through CrimeStoppers. Does anyone in the Roxbury area remember seeing or hearing anything the night of October 31, 2010 that might help investigators?
