Jermaine J. Daye, 33, was fatally shot at about 3 a.m. on Sunday, September 4, 2022, during a house party on Melbourne Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. Gunfire at the Labor Day weekend gathering wounded three people; Daye and 32-year-old Tefan Ivy of Brockton died from their injuries, while a third victim suffered non-life-threatening wounds and was hospitalized. One man was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died after being taken to a nearby hospital.

Witnesses reported a rapid succession of gunshots, with one neighbor saying they heard nearly 20 shots. A stray bullet that entered a nearby home grazed another neighbor in the ankle. Social media tributes identified Daye as a father and fiancé; his obituary lists five children: Malachi, Legend Jermaine, Royal Jermaine, Jeffrey, and Jasmine Daye, and notes he was also known as Sherlock Unruly.

The Boston Police Department opened a homicide investigation and has urged anyone with information to contact Homicide Detectives. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced. If anyone at the party or nearby that night has information, please contact Boston Police Homicide Detectives.
