On the late afternoon of August 29, 2017, 16-year-old Tenzin Kunkhyen, an Asian male, was shot once in the chest inside a Farragut Avenue home in Somerville, Massachusetts. Emergency responders took him to Mount Auburn Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He had previously attended Somerville High School and had recently moved to Malden; the following day would have been his first day of his junior year at Malden High School.

Investigators described the shooting as not random, since Kunkhyen was inside the home with people he knew. Within days, 17-year-old Jonathan T. Perry of Somerville, who lived at the Farragut Avenue residence, was named a person of interest. Perry was located in Arlington and taken into custody on September 5, 2017, and charged with manslaughter, aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and carrying a firearm without a license; a grand jury later indicted him as a youthful offender on manslaughter and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury. A 31-year-old man, Keith Harlow, was also arrested in the same apartment on unrelated charges.

Did anyone in Somerville or Malden know Tenzin or have information about the people present at the Farragut Avenue home that afternoon?
