Courtney Wilson was 41 when he was found shot on the evening of August 22, 2008, at 140 Northern Avenue on Boston’s waterfront. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide. He was originally from Jamaica, having arrived in the United States in 1993, and lived in Brockton where he worked as a self-employed painter. He was married to Jacqueline Wilson and was the father of three children: Regina, Shantay, and Courtney Wilson, Jr.

No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified; the case remains one of Boston’s unsolved homicides from 2008. Anyone who knew Courtney, was in the Northern Avenue area that night, or has information that could help the investigation is asked to come forward.
