Andy Baez Manan, 35, known also as Jusepy, was shot and killed on the night of July 14, 2024, in Jamaica Plain. He had spent the day playing in a softball game and was driving home from a post-game dinner with his wife and two children in the car when at least three moped riders surrounded his vehicle and began performing reckless maneuvers. At a red light near New Washington Street and the Arborway, Baez exited his car to confront the riders; one of them turned and fired, striking him in the chest.

Boston police responded around 10:17 p.m. and officers found Baez with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The Homicide Unit is treating the killing as an active and unsolved investigation. There was a report of officers chasing a possible suspect into a wooded area shortly after the shooting and recovering a scooter, but that has not produced an arrest. Family and friends remember Baez as a devoted father who worked for a cleaning company and have urged the public to help.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation on New Washington Street and the Arborway or has information about the moped riders, please contact the Boston Police Homicide Unit.
