Seventeen-year-old Nathan Paul, a Weymouth High School senior who played football, basketball and wrestled, was shot and killed in Quincy’s Germantown neighborhood on the evening of February 15, 2022. Paul had driven to Taffrail Road to meet a group of teenagers to sell THC vape cartridges. After they paid with counterfeit money, Paul pursued the group; during the confrontation a single gunshot struck him while he was in his SUV. He drove a short distance, crashed near the Germantown housing development, and was found by officers on Palmer Street. He died later at Boston Medical Center.

Investigators arrested 18-year-old Jaivon Harris in late February 2022 on murder and robbery charges; prosecutors alleged Harris yelled shoot him to another teenager. Four juveniles were also taken into custody in July 2022 accused of stealing from Paul and using counterfeit bills. A fugitive suspect, Keniel Diaz-Romero, was indicted in May 2022 and later located and returned to Massachusetts to face murder-related charges.

Does anyone who knew Nathan or who was in Germantown that night have information that could help clarify what happened?
