Rashod Shoddy Payne was 22 when he died on October 14, 2008, from complications of a shooting that happened in broad daylight on Geneva Avenue in Dorchester in 2006. The wounds from that 2006 attack reportedly plagued him for two years before he succumbed in 2008.

No arrests have been announced in connection with the shooting, and the Boston Police Department’s investigation has grown cold. The family has been left without closure; his mother later lost another son, Lloyd, to gun violence in 2010, and she has expressed anger at the lack of communication and progress in Rashod’s case.

The investigation into who shot Rashod Payne remains open. If anyone has information about the 2006 Geneva Avenue shooting or Rashod’s final years, please share what is known.
