On the evening of October 15, 2018, 24-year-old Alicia Restrepo was shot inside a car at the intersection of Charles and Ditson streets in the Fields Corner neighborhood of Boston. Police arrived around 9:30 p.m.; despite medical efforts she was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators do not believe she was the intended target.

Alicia had been a student at UMass Lowell and City on a Hill Charter School and lived with her mother in an East Boston housing community. Friends and neighbors remembered her as kind, selfless, smart and a good sister; a former teacher recalled being proud that she was going to college. The shooting was the city’s 47th homicide of the year and the eighth fatal shooting in under two weeks.

The investigation remains ongoing. No arrests have been announced and authorities have not released suspect descriptions. If anyone knew Alicia or has information about that October night, please come forward with tips that could help bring answers.
