On the morning of March 8, 2017, 18-year-old Juan Espinal was shot to death while walking home in Lawrence, Massachusetts. A high school student and basketball player, Espinal was described by those who knew him as funny, hardworking and devoted to his family; he helped his mother look for a new apartment and cared for his younger siblings. Around 1:45 a.m., he was ambushed near Crescent and Forest streets after two people who had been lying in wait behind a parked car chased him up Forest Street. He was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation was pursued by local and state police but produced no arrests for years, leaving the family and community without answers. Does anyone who knew Juan or who was in the Crescent and Forest street area that night have information that could help finally identify the second assailant?
