On November 5, 2008, 31-year-old Akanimo Uko was shot at 58 Bowdoin Avenue in Dorchester, Boston.

Sometime in 2015 Uko died from the long-term effects of the 2008 shooting. In 2016 the medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, transforming the original assault into a homicide investigation. The Boston Police Department lists the death as an unsolved case and no public information indicates any arrests or suspects.

Uko’s killing is cited in discussions about unsolved homicides of Black men. If anyone knew Akanimo Uko, witnessed the 2008 shooting, or has information that could help investigators, please share what you know with the Boston Police.
