Warren D. Hairston was 21 when his body was found on Dewey Street in Roxbury, Boston, on January 27, 2007. He had been reported missing by his family on January 24 after they could not locate him; the discovery three days later showed he had died of a gunshot wound.

The Boston Police Department investigated, trying to trace Hairston’s movements between the time he was last seen and when his body was found, and appealed to the public for information. The initial inquiry produced no arrests or publicly named suspects, and the case later grew cold.

Hairston’s mother turned her grief into community activism in his memory. The homicide remains unsolved and continues to weigh on family and community. If anyone knew Warren, saw him around January 24–27, 2007, or has information about his death, please come forward.
