On the evening of January 11, 2020, 19-year-old Treshawn Boyd, a Black or African American male and 2018 graduate of English High School, was shot at about 8:25 p.m. at the intersection of Normandy and Washington streets in Dorchester. Responding officers found Boyd and another man with gunshot wounds; both were taken to local hospitals and Boyd was pronounced dead. The other victim survived. The shooting was identified as Boston’s first homicide of 2020.

Four days later, on January 15, 2020, the Boston Police Department arrested 18-year-old Daventy Walker of Mattapan and charged him with murder in relation to Boyd’s death. Walker was arraigned in Dorchester District Court on January 16, 2020, and ordered held without bail. Prosecutors said surveillance video showed Walker and others running from the scene after shots were fired, and police were seeking at least one other potential suspect. The motive was described as under investigation. The shooting took place a few blocks from where Boyd’s father, Jamil Harmon, had been stabbed to death in 2010. Boyd was remembered by family and friends as a good kid who made people laugh and had a signature dance.

If anyone knew Treshawn, saw activity around Normandy and Washington streets that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
