On the late morning of March 31, 2014, a burst of gunfire in a parking lot off Smith Street in Boston’s Mission Hill neighborhood left 44-year-old Jose Maldonado fatally wounded. The shooting happened around 11:45 a.m. in the Mission Main development. Officers found Maldonado with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Witnesses reported seeing a man flee the scene and jump into an older gold-colored four-door Chrysler on McGreevey Way, which then sped away. Boston Police Homicide Unit detectives led the investigation, but no arrests were made. Community-sourced crime-watch posts briefly named two people as suspects, though official police reports and news coverage continued to state that no suspects had been identified. Maldonado, known to friends as Cay, was a well-known neighborhood figure and is survived by a wife, children, and his mother.

Did anyone in Mission Hill see the gold-colored Chrysler or the man who ran from the parking lot that morning?
