Eleanor Maloney, 74, was killed by a stray bullet on April 6, 2019, while standing outside her home on Mattapan Street in Boston. A retired operating-room technician who worked 44 years at Boston Medical Center, Maloney was an innocent bystander struck during a gunfight on her street. She was described by family as a beautiful woman and a fierce protector of her family.

The exchange of gunfire involved her grandson, 37-year-old Anthony Davis, and 23-year-old Dane Henry. The two men reportedly fired a total of 16 rounds; Davis was shot in the leg and Henry in the arm, and a bullet struck Maloney in the head. Boston Police arrested four people. Davis and Henry were charged with murder; prosecutors said proving who fired the fatal shot was difficult and charged both under a transfer of intent theory. Two others with Henry faced lesser charges related to lying to police and alleged evidence tampering, and one Roxbury resident later pleaded guilty to several charges and received 12 to 15 years in state prison.

Does anyone have additional information about the shooting or knew Eleanor Maloney and her family?
