Keith Cousin, 37, of Bayonne, New Jersey, was shot and killed in Roxbury on the night of December 9, 2024. Officers responding to a ShotSpotter activation at 114 Devon Street found Cousin with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Surveillance footage showed two people leaving an alley near 270 Columbia Road shortly after the shooting.

Patrol officers later spotted those individuals, who ran when approached. After a short pursuit both men were taken into custody and officers recovered two firearms wrapped in a plastic shopping bag and dark clothing along the suspects’ flight path. The detained men were identified as 25-year-old Darius Powell of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, and 25-year-old Daiquan Miller of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Both were charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of a large-capacity feeding device, pleaded not guilty at arraignment, and were held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.

Family members say Cousin’s child was born the day after his death. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to contact the Boston Police Homicide Unit at 617-343-4470 or submit anonymous tips to CrimeStoppers.
