On July 19, 2020, Dante Chop Carlor, 16, and his friend K’Shaun Webster, 17, were found shot in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. Both teens were taken to hospitals and pronounced dead. The killings remain unsolved and no arrests have been announced.

The families’ grief was later compounded by a burial mix-up. Both teens had been planned to be buried side by side at Hope Cemetery in Worcester, but each was buried in the other’s gravesite. The City of Worcester attributed the error to the George Lopes Funeral Home; the cemetery later exhumed Dante’s remains and moved Dante’s headstone to the correct plot after the mistake came to light.

Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins and Boston Police Sgt. John Boyle have acknowledged the ongoing investigation. The Boston Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact their tipline or CrimeStoppers anonymously if needed. Does anyone in Dorchester or Worcester have information that could help bring answers to these families?
