Adilson Barbosa was 22 when he was shot and killed just after 11:30 p.m. on July 14, 2019. He was standing at the intersection of Columbia Road and Dudley Street in Dorchester’s Uphams Corner, waiting for the light to change, when he was struck by a fatal gunshot to the head. First responders transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators tied the killing to Boston’s gang conflicts. Phone records and surveillance footage suggested involvement by a member of the NOB, or Northside Outlaws and Brothers, a group with known rivalries against the Cameron Street Gang. No specific suspect has been officially named or charged in Adilson’s murder. His twin brother, Aderito Barbosa, was also murdered on February 8, 2020, in Brockton; law enforcement suspected that killing was gang-related as well.

Anyone who knew Adilson or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
