Julien Printemps, 22, was fatally shot the evening of January 26, 2014, outside a Tedeschi convenience store on Dorchester Avenue in Boston. The shooting occurred around 9:50 p.m. as Printemps was getting into his car in the parking lot; another vehicle pulled up and a man identified as Csean Skerritt, then 26, emerged. Prosecutors said the two exchanged words, that Skerritt produced a semiautomatic handgun and fired at Printemps’s vehicle as he tried to drive away, continuing to shoot as Printemps attempted to flee. Printemps’s car struck the curb, and he got out before collapsing; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family remembered Printemps as kindhearted and loving; he had recently worked a temporary job at UPS and, his mother Gloria said, had had no recent troubles with anyone. Authorities charged Skerritt in May 2015 with first-degree murder; he had been recently released from a three-year prison sentence for a gun conviction and was on probation at the time of the killing. A Suffolk Superior Court jury later found Skerritt not guilty of the murder and related gun charges in November 2017.

Does anyone who knew Julien or who was in the Tedeschi parking lot that night have information that could add detail to what happened?
