On July 18, 2017, 58-year-old store owner Andres Cruz was shot and killed at his AC Hardware store on Tremont Street in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. The shooting happened around 4 p.m. while Cruz was alone in the store; it appeared to be an attempted robbery.

Investigators identified and arrested three suspects in connection with the killing. Jerome Hobson, 38, of Dorchester, and Shawn Redden, 26, of Brockton, were charged and held without bail on first-degree murder and firearms charges after arraignment. A third suspect, Christian Soto-Olivero, 21, of Mattapan, was also charged and was arraigned from his hospital bed at Boston Medical Center due to injuries.

Cruz was a local business owner whose death deeply affected his family and community; his daughter Noelia Cruz later took over running the hardware store. Does anyone have information about that day or remember Cruz and the store in Mission Hill?
