On the night of October 14, 2007, at about 10:49 p.m., 18-year-old Charles Bunch was found lying in the middle of Orlando Street in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood after being struck by multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Boston Medical Center and pronounced dead; the Boston Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Ten days earlier, on October 4, 2007, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office had identified Bunch as the person responsible for the shooting death of 13-year-old Steven Odom, who was described as an innocent bystander killed in a case of mistaken identity. Bunch was never formally charged in Odom’s death because he was killed before any prosecution could proceed. Law enforcement said they had no evidence linking Bunch’s killing to retaliation for Odom’s death, and investigators publicly sought information about who shot him.

If anyone knew Charles, saw activity on Orlando Street that night, or has information about his shooting, please come forward.
