On April 13, 2017, 21-year-old Joey DeBarros was shot and killed in broad daylight after a traffic dispute at the McDonald’s on Gallivan Boulevard in Dorchester. The shooting occurred at a busy intersection and shocked the neighborhood.

Family members described DeBarros as a quiet young man who was devoted to work and home life and appealed publicly for justice. Boston police used nearby surveillance video to identify a suspect, 29-year-old Deonarine Ganga of Dorchester. Ganga had been arrested the day after the killing on an unrelated outstanding warrant and was charged with DeBarros’s murder within a week. In December 2018 a jury convicted Ganga of first-degree murder and he received a mandatory life sentence for the killing of Joey DeBarros.

If anyone remembers the incident or saw activity around the McDonald’s lot on April 13, 2017, please share what you know.
