Victoria Torie E. Snelgrove was 21 and a journalism student at Emerson College when she was killed in the aftermath of the Boston Red Sox victory on October 21, 2004. Celebrations near Fenway Park grew disorderly and police used less-lethal weapons to control the crowd. A projectile fired from an FN 303 launcher struck Snelgrove in the eye; she was not taking part in the unrest. She was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital and died about 11 hours later after an autopsy showed the pellet had fractured the bone behind her eye and shattered into nine pieces, causing extensive brain damage.

Officer Rochefort Milien was identified as the officer who fired the shot. The Suffolk County District Attorney, Daniel F. Conley, announced no criminal charges would be filed against the officers. The city later reviewed crowd-control policy, destroyed its FN 303 launchers in 2007, and reached a $5.1 million wrongful death settlement with Snelgrove’s family; a separate suit against the weapon’s manufacturer was also settled. Who in the crowd that night or nearby businesses might still have information about what happened around Fenway Park?
