On the morning of August 4, 2007, 30-year-old Danielle Grady was sitting in a parked Mazda on Dunkeld Street in Roxbury when a man in a black hooded sweatshirt approached and fired at least eleven rounds into the vehicle. Grady suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was taken to Boston Medical Center, and died of her injuries. Investigators transported the bullet-riddled car to the crime lab with her body inside to preserve evidence.

Initial speculation tied her killing to the earlier murders of her boyfriend, Jeffrey Jones, and his friend Jarrid Campbell, and rumors suggested she might have been targeted as a witness. The Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said she was not an official witness in any upcoming homicide trial, and friends said she was not present when her boyfriend was killed. The motive for Grady’s murder remains unclear.

The day after her death occupants of a blue minivan fired shots near the scene; a police chase led to four arrests and two firearms recovered, but authorities have not publicly connected those arrests to Grady’s slaying. The Boston Police list the homicide as unsolved. If anyone knew Danielle or has information about what happened that night, please come forward to investigators.
