Christopher Chris Carvalho, 28, was critically wounded in a South End, Boston, shooting after a confrontation outside a Chinatown nightclub in the early morning of April 28, 2003. Around 2:30 a.m. a larger group left the club and pursued a smaller group that included Carvalho and Jose DaVeiga in two vehicles. When the victims’ car stopped at a red light at Albany and East Berkeley streets, occupants of the suspect vehicles opened fire. Carvalho was shot twice in the head and neck; he survived in a paralyzed condition on ventilatory support but died on September 23, 2007, of pneumonia related to his injuries. DaVeiga was also killed in the incident.

Investigators identified suspects as Carlos Silva, Daniel Fernandes and Odair Fernandes. Ballistic evidence and a search of the minivan driven by Daniel Fernandes produced a second gun linked to the shooting. Odair Fernandes was convicted of first-degree murder and other charges and is serving a life term. Daniel Fernandes later turned himself in and accepted a 10-year sentence. Carlos Silva fled for about a decade before being located in 2015 and ultimately pleading guilty in 2017 to accessory after the fact to murder.

Did anyone in the South End that night see the cars involved or the shooting itself?
