On January 8, 2019, a burst of gunfire on Crawford Street in Roxbury left 28-year-old Godfrey Jenkins dead. Jenkins, a Black/African American man and father of a one-year-old son, had been sitting in a vehicle when he was shot; police later located him about a block away on Howland Street. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead, recorded as the city’s second homicide of the year.

Friends and family described Jenkins as down-to-earth and laid-back, a great father with a dope soul. The shooting was treated by the Boston Police Department as a targeted act of violence, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests were announced, and the case went cold.

If anyone knew Godfrey Jenkins, saw activity on Crawford or Howland streets that afternoon, or has information that could help the investigation, please share what is known.
