Robert Fleming, a 23-year-old African-American father, was fatally shot in Dorchester on the evening of July 20, 2010. He had been at his mother Michelle’s apartment earlier that night; they watched the 10 o’clock news and discussed a planned family day trip. Just before 11 p.m. Fleming left with a cousin to walk to a nearby corner store. While walking along Adams Street, a man standing with another by a fence opened fire shortly after they passed. Fleming was struck and died after being taken to Boston Medical Center.

Investigators described the killing as a cold-blooded and personal attack. The two men by the fence have never been publicly identified, no arrests have been made, and the motive remains unclear. Fleming’s mother has actively appealed for information and Detective Joshua Cummings has sought public leads; the case is unsolved.

If anyone has information about that night, the men seen by the fence, or anything that could help bring justice for Robert Fleming, please come forward.
