On the evening of August 12, 2010, gunfire erupted on Adams Street near Hemenway Park in Dorchester. David Martins, a 30-year-old Hispanic/Latino man, was shot in front of a residence and found critically wounded by Boston police officers who responded to a 9:30 p.m. call. He was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he later died.

A second victim, a teenager, suffered multiple gunshot wounds at the same scene and was transported to Brigham & Women’s Hospital and survived. The Boston Police Homicide Unit opened an active investigation and made public appeals, but no motive has been released and no arrests have been announced; the case remains unsolved. Family and friends held a funeral mass at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Dorchester to mourn Martins.

If anyone has information about the shooting on Adams Street that night, please contact investigators.
