Garfield Thomas, a 33-year-old Black man originally from Linden, Guyana, was shot and killed in a Mattapan apartment on the morning of May 15, 2018. Police responded to a report of a person shot on Evelyn Street and found Thomas with a gunshot wound; he was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. He was the son of Frankie Thomas and Marcelle Fraser.

Boston police later identified a suspect and, on December 28, 2018, arrested 32-year-old Jocelyn Vasquez of Dorchester in Stoughton. She was charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm in connection with Thomas’s death. The shooting ended a life and left family and friends seeking answers.
