On the evening of May 4, 2018, 58-year-old Clayborn Blair was fatally shot in a park at the Mildred C. Hailey apartment complex on Centre Street in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. Blair, a father of three and a Navy veteran, was among a group of about 15 people gathered there around 9:45 p.m. when a gunman opened fire. Christopher Joyce, 23, was also killed; a 4-year-old boy was grazed by a bullet but not seriously injured.

Investigators used surveillance footage to identify a suspect captured wearing a gray hoodie and distinctively patterned sneakers as he exited a car, entered the complex, and opened fire. The same footwear was later seen on camera inside a liquor store after the shooter removed the hoodie. A search of the suspect’s residence reportedly turned up the same sneakers. The suspect was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm and was held without bail.

Blair and Joyce were described by authorities as innocent victims and not the intended targets. Did anyone who knew Clayborn Blair or who was at the Mildred C. Hailey park that night see something that could help the investigation?
