On July 1, 2023, a double shooting on McGreevey Way in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston left 30-year-old Nelson Cruet dead. Boston police were called about 12:10 a.m.; officers found two men with gunshot wounds. Both were taken to local hospitals, and Cruet was pronounced dead while the other victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is expected to recover.

Family members identified Cruet and described him as a hard-working father of three — a 15-year-old daughter, a 5-year-old son, and a 16-month-old son — who was due to celebrate his birthday later in July. The investigation is ongoing; police have not disclosed what led up to the shooting and no arrests have been announced.
