On the evening of November 30, 2018, 19-year-old Nervan Joshua Luc, a Black/African American male, was shot in the head while sitting in a car in Dorchester, Boston, around 7:10 p.m. The shooting occurred on Norwell Street near Washington Street, but the vehicle with Luc’s body was later found about a mile away at Talbot Avenue and Norfolk Street.

The car stopped outside the Great Hall during a community forum on public safety led by City Council President Andrea Campbell and the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute; participants and police officers at the meeting were alerted to the sirens and the fatal shooting. Luc was recorded as Boston’s 52nd homicide victim that year. No suspects or arrests have been reported and the case remains unsolved. Fundraising was started to help the family and raise awareness about ongoing gun violence in the city.

If anyone knew Nervan Joshua Luc or has information about the shooting, please come forward to help his family find answers.
