Delois Brown, a 73-year-old Black great-grandmother, was fatally shot on April 10, 2021 while sitting on her front porch on Olney Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. The shooting occurred at about 6 p.m., and family members — including her daughter and grandchildren — were present when an individual approached and opened fire. Reports indicate Brown was struck by a stray bullet and was not believed to have been the intended target.

Brown was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. The killing was Boston’s 10th homicide of 2021 and prompted community outrage; local leaders and organizations pooled a cash reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.

Does anyone who lived in Dorchester at the time or who was on Olney Street that evening have information that could help identify the shooter?
