On February 3, 2018, 20-year-old John Colon was fatally shot in front of his home on Trull Street in Boston. Witnesses said a Chrysler Pacifica had been seen driving slowly past the area multiple times beforehand; those observations were described as reconnaissance. Two shooters allegedly approached from an adjacent alley and opened fire, killing Colon and wounding another man.

Witnesses told police that Colon recognized one occupant of the vehicle as G Fredo, the street name for Michael Brandao, and said the people in the vehicle had been carrying a conflict or smoke with Colon. Investigators linked the attack to a broader gang-related probe involving the NOB gang and affiliated groups; another suspect, Ricky Pina, was tied by investigators to earlier gang-related killings.

Federal authorities later charged several alleged gang members in an operation targeting murders, drug and gun offenses. Are there readers who knew John Colon or have information about the shooting on Trull Street?
