Christopher Shivers, 43, was shot and killed on the evening of Saturday, April 8, 2023, in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood near 2055 Columbus Avenue. Officers from District E-13 arrived about 10:17 PM and found Shivers with apparent gunshot wounds; Boston EMS transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The case advanced months later when Boston Police Fugitive Unit members arrested 44-year-old Demone Coleman of Dorchester on an outstanding Suffolk Superior Court warrant for Shivers’ murder. Coleman was also charged with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm and was scheduled for arraignment in Suffolk Superior Court.
