James L. Jacobs, 27, was shot to death on the evening of March 30, 2007, on McLellan Street in Dorchester, Massachusetts. A veteran and former Sergeant who served in Iraq, Jacobs was a civilian working full time and studying electrical engineering when his Range Rover’s tires were found slashed. While waiting for a tow, three unidentified men approached him and an argument began; that confrontation ended when Jacobs was shot 18 times in the back. The three men fled the scene.

The Boston Police Department questioned neighborhood witnesses who reported seeing the three men approach Jacobs, but no arrests have been announced and no specific suspects have been publicly identified. The case remains unsolved. If anyone has information about the men seen that night or about Jacobs’ last movements, please share what is known with investigators.
