On Sunday morning, January 29, 2023, 13-year-old Tyler Jacoby Lawrence of Norwood was shot multiple times while walking a few blocks from his grandparents’ home in the Mattapan neighborhood of Boston, in the area of Babson and Fremont Streets around 11:30 a.m. Responding officers found him with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Tyler was a seventh-grader at Coakley Middle School and is remembered by family and community as a bright, joyful boy who loved basketball and avoided trouble.

Investigators described the shooting as a targeted attack. Days later, authorities identified 34-year-old Csean Alexander Skerritt as a suspect and charged him with first-degree murder. Prosecutors said eyewitness accounts and video showed Skerritt exit a car, walk toward Tyler and shoot him five times before fleeing. No connection between Skerritt and Tyler and no motive have been disclosed.

Does anyone in the Mattapan area that morning have information or saw activity near Babson and Fremont Streets that could help this investigation?
