On the evening of December 13, 2020, 22-year-old Storlen Webster went to a home on Ellis Street in Boston’s Hyde Park with two acquaintances to buy marijuana from a man identified as Emmanuel Maldonado. Webster and his companions tried to flee; the shooter allegedly continued firing, disabling their vehicle and forcing them to run. Webster collapsed a short distance away and was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead from his gunshot wounds.

Investigators pursued the case for months. On March 31, 2021, a Suffolk County grand jury returned indictments against Emmanuel Maldonado for murder. Police located and arrested the 21-year-old at a Mattapan residence on May 7, 2021. He was arraigned in Suffolk Superior Court on second-degree murder, three counts of armed assault with intent to murder, and counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and was ordered held without bail.

If anyone knew Storlen, his activities that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
