On the evening of August 12, 2024, Leudis Mejia Sanchez, a 49-year-old Hispanic man from Dorchester, was shot inside a residence at 5 Trent Street in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood during what authorities described as a home invasion. Police responded to a report of two people shot at about 6:42 PM and found Mejia Sanchez and another adult male with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to a local hospital; Mejia Sanchez was pronounced dead and the other victim survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Boston Police Homicide Unit opened an investigation. On September 9 and September 11, 2024, two Dorchester residents — 18-year-old Manuel Guerrero and 17-year-old Luis Mario Perez — were arrested on warrants and face multiple charges including murder, home invasion, armed assault with intent to murder, and carrying a firearm without a license. Both were expected to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember activity around 5 Trent Street that evening who haven’t spoken to investigators?
