George M Saydee, a 34-year-old Liberian-born father who worked as a residential counselor at Starting Point, was fatally shot outside his apartment on Duncannon Avenue in Worcester on the night of Sunday, November 30, 2014. The shooting devastated his close-knit family; his mother, Betty Saydee, learned of a shooting at UMass Medical Center while at work and soon discovered the victim was her son.

Police describe the scene as an outside attack; the family says they heard that two men wearing dark clothing may have been involved and believes the killer was not a stranger but someone who knew George and the family. Surveillance cameras were present at the apartment complex, and the Worcester Police Detective Bureau has been investigating and asking anyone with information to come forward. No arrests have been announced.

George’s family notes he had a complicated past, including time on the streets and prior encounters with law enforcement, but they do not believe that history explains his murder. Does anyone in Worcester remember seeing suspicious activity near Duncannon Avenue that night or have information that could help the investigation?
