Malik Gabbidon, 19, was fatally shot in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston in the early morning of June 23, 2020. Police were called about 1:51 a.m. to the area of 26 Thane Street after reports of a person shot; officers found Gabbidon with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and was later pronounced dead.

Authorities say the violence began at a house party and escalated into the street. On October 30, 2020, 21-year-old Cristian Rivera of Brockton was arrested and charged with murder, carrying a firearm without a license, unlawful possession of ammunition, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling. A prosecutor stated Rivera and Gabbidon were involved in the altercation that led to the shooting, and a judge ordered Rivera held without bail.

If anyone witnessed the party or the events on Thane Street that night, does anyone have details that could clarify how the dispute escalated?
