Isaias Boulos, 21, was found fatally shot inside a parked car on Atlantic Avenue in Providence in the early morning hours of April 12, 2021. He was described as Hispanic and was discovered slumped in the vehicle; investigators offered few immediate answers about who shot him or why.A memorial formed at the scene the following day where friends and family gathered.

That vigil was struck by further violence when a drive-by shooting at the memorial injured a 29-year-old man, intensifying the community’s shock and grief. Isaias’s family had previously suffered another homicide: his brother Christian Pena was killed in South Providence in 2018, a case that had been investigated for possible gang links, though police did not publicly connect the two deaths after Isaias was killed.As of the days following the April 2021 shooting, no suspects had been publicly identified or arrested and no motive had been announced.

If anyone knew Isaias or has information about the events on Atlantic Avenue, please come forward.
