Late on Friday, November 4, 2022, gunfire on Yarmouth Place in Boston’s South End ended the life of 39-year-old Jason Murray. A South Boston resident, Murray was found by Boston Police officers about 10:47 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene just outside the Tent City Apartments, a place he did not live.

Witnesses reported a blue vehicle speeding away immediately after the shooting. Friends and neighbors said bystanders tried to help Murray before being moved aside by first responders, and several residents expressed the belief that Murray may not have been the intended target. No arrests or public identifications of suspects have been made and the investigation is ongoing.

Murray was a longtime Pepsi Co. employee who family and friends remember for his laugh, storytelling and commitment to his community. Does anyone who knew Jason or who was in the South End that night have information that could help investigators?
