On the afternoon of July 17, 2019, Daniel Vo, 24, of Boston, was found shot on Rowe Street in the Roslindale neighborhood. Police responded to reports of gunfire at about 3 p.m., and Vo was pronounced dead at the scene. Initially there were no arrests and authorities asked the public for information about the daytime shooting.

Investigators later focused on Anderson Lugo Vargas, then 23 and from Norwood. Evidence presented in court described Lugo Vargas driving Vo to Rowe Street on a motorcycle, then leaving alone after gunshots were heard out of view of a nearby residential surveillance camera. Prosecutors cited surveillance footage, gunshot residue on pants discarded at a car wash, the victim’s blood on the motorcycle, and a broken mirror under Vo’s body that matched the motorcycle Lugo Vargas had been driving.

In March 2022 Lugo Vargas pleaded guilty to manslaughter and firearm possession and was sentenced to 22 to 24 years in state prison for Vo’s death.

If anyone knew Daniel, saw him that afternoon, or has information about what happened on Rowe Street, please share what you know.
