A Mattapan shooting on the night of January 5, 2026, left 37-year-old Alex DeAndrade dead. Boston police found DeAndrade in his parked car on Stow Road shortly after midnight with multiple gunshot wounds; paramedics transported him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was a Brockton resident and became the city’s second homicide victim of the new year.

Born in Santiago, Cabo Verde, DeAndrade worked as an attendant at the East Side Market and was remembered by family and friends as a devoted father to his son Azarry, and a beloved son, brother, and friend. The Boston Police Homicide Unit is conducting an active investigation; detectives canvassed the area and appealed for public tips. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified and no motive has been released.
