Michael Ross, 34, known to friends as Pac Man, was fatally shot around 9:10 a.m. on March 30, 2018, near 120 Quincy Street in Boston’s Dorchester. He was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead of multiple gunshot wounds.

Prosecutors identified three suspects. They say Dario Baxter, 21, of Roxbury, drove Dawon Wright, 22, of Dorchester, and Dakarai Pittman to Wayland Street. Surveillance footage and prosecutors contend Wright, wearing a red jacket, followed Ross on foot and shot him six times from behind while Pittman acted as a lookout; Baxter allegedly drove the others away. Baxter was charged with murder and accessory after the fact; Wright faced murder and unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition charges.

A 2019 trial ended in a hung jury and a mistrial. A retrial was scheduled, but in April 2022 the Supreme Judicial Court ruled Baxter could not be retried for first-degree murder on double jeopardy grounds, though he could still face accessory and gun-related charges. Does anyone have information about Michael Ross, his routine that morning, or the events near Quincy and Wayland Streets?
