On the morning of May 7, 2009, 15-year-old Soheil Soey Turner was waiting for his school bus in Roxbury after stopping at a convenience store near Dudley Street and Adams Street. At about 7:22 AM he was shot in the back of the head and in the shoulder. First responders took him to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Surveillance video showed a male in a black hooded sweatshirt approach Soheil, speak briefly with him, then draw a gun and fire before fleeing. Investigators focused on 18-year-old Xzeniyeju Chukwuezi after a woman who knew him placed him at the scene and said he was seen leaving quickly after the shots. She also said Chukwuezi confessed to shooting Turner in retaliation for a recent shooting that had injured one of his friends; police said Soheil had no gang ties and was not involved in prior incidents.

Authorities charged Chukwuezi with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. His trial resulted in a jury conviction for first-degree murder on October 19, 2010, and a life sentence without parole was imposed. Does anyone have information about Soheil’s last morning or remembers seeing him near Dudley and Adams that day?
