Dante Webb, 45, was fatally shot in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston in the early hours of July 18, 2023. Police were called at about 1:39 AM to the area of 159 Forest Hills Street and found Webb with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. His death deeply affected friends and family, who remembered him as genuine and well-loved; his sister Rosalyn Webb described feeling numb and grieving the loss of her brother, the baby of the family.

Boston Police arrested Dequann Whyte-Cohen in connection with the killing; officers say he tried to flee during the arrest and an officer was injured. Prosecutors charged Whyte-Cohen with murder, while his defense attorney has questioned the evidence, suggesting possible mistaken identity and disputing links to a vehicle alleged to be involved. The Suffolk District Attorney noted the arrest came amid a weekend of heightened gun violence in the city.

Does anyone have information about Dante Webb, his last known movements that night, or witnesses who were near Forest Hills Street around 1:39 AM on July 18, 2023?
