On the evening of May 4, 2018, 23-year-old Chris Joyce was visiting family and friends in Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood he knew from childhood, while weeks away from graduating from Salem State University and beginning a career as an accountant. Around 9:41 p.m., gunfire erupted near 277 Centre Street. Boston Police found two men with serious gunshot wounds: Joyce and 58-year-old Clayborn Blair, a Navy veteran and father of three. Both were taken to hospitals and were pronounced dead shortly after.

Investigators said both victims were not the intended targets and believed the shooting was gang-related. Detectives reviewed surveillance footage showing a suspect exit a white Ford Fusion, walk toward a group of about 15 people, and open fire; the vehicle was tracked on ten cameras and the shooter was partly identified by distinctive sneakers. On May 12, 2018, police arrested 28-year-old Wilvin Guity of Dorchester and charged him with two counts of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. Did anyone in Jamaica Plain see or hear anything that night that could add detail to what happened?
