Chad OConnor, a 17-year-old Black / African American male, was killed in Dorchester on January 14, 2018. The attack took place about 5:30 p.m. near Kenwood and Washington streets. According to reports, OConnor was set upon by a group; he was beaten and shot, suffering a fatal gunshot to the head.

Investigators arrested four suspects in the weeks that followed. On February 9, 2018, Boston Police arrested two 18-year-old Dorchester residents, Rishaard Sheppard and Branden Singleton-Legget, and charged them with murder. Prosecutors allege Singleton-Legget kicked OConnor during the assault and Sheppard fired the fatal shot; a handgun recovered from Sheppard’s home was said to be the same caliber used in the homicide and video evidence reportedly implicated both men. In March 2018, two 17-year-olds, identified as Malik Albert and Rodney Gamble, were also arrested and charged; prosecutors said video evidence implicated them as well. All four suspects were held without bail.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the evening of January 14, 2018, in that area of Dorchester?
