Alan Jimenez was 23 when he was shot and killed in Lawrence, Massachusetts, in the early morning of March 1, 2020. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of a car near Market and Loring Streets shortly before 4 a.m. A 19-year-old female passenger survived but was left paralyzed by her injuries.

Investigators from the Lawrence Police and Massachusetts State Police worked the case for more than two and a half years. In September 2022 an Essex County grand jury returned an indictment charging Elias Leger, who was 20 at his arraignment, with murder, armed assault with intent to murder, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Leger was already in custody on unrelated charges at MCI-Shirley at the time of the indictment; he pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and was ordered held without bail.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting near Market and Loring Streets on March 1, 2020, or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
