Maurice Scott, 38, was shot and killed on December 5, 2015, in South Boston. Police responded about 8:30 p.m. to Old Colony Avenue and found Scott lying next to his girlfriend’s Mercedes-Benz with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Boston Medical Center and pronounced dead a short time later.
Investigators identified three suspects: Dewayne Diggs, Daquan Peters, and Dondre Snow. A witness reported seeing Scott already on the ground when a large man fired additional shots, then fled in a car. Police located that vehicle in Dorchester after a witness reported a car with its lights off and occupants changing clothes. Officers recovered a .40-caliber firearm in a vacant lot; ballistics later matched shell casings from the scene to that weapon.
Dewayne Diggs, 23, of Randolph, and Dondre Snow, 22, of Dorchester, were charged with murder and ordered held without bail after an arraignment during which a physical altercation occurred between the families outside the courthouse. Daquan Peters, 20, of Boston, was arrested and charged with illegal possession of a firearm and possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute. Maurice Lamar Scott was the son of Thomas and Belinda Scott and father to three children, Marquees, Mylyza, and Myreece.
