On April 28, 2003, 22-year-old Jose DaVeiga was fatally shot after leaving a nightclub in Boston’s Chinatown. He and two friends — Christopher Carvalho and Jonathan DaSilva — were stopped at a red light at Albany and East Berkeley streets when gunmen in a Honda and a Dodge minivan opened fire on their Ford Taurus. DaVeiga was struck three times and died shortly after arriving at Boston Medical Center.

Carvalho was critically wounded, shot in the eye and neck; the crash that followed left him paralyzed from the neck down and blind in one eye, and he later died in 2007 from pneumonia related to those injuries. Investigators concluded the attack targeted the men because the shooters believed they were rivals. Odair Fernandes was arrested, tried, and in 2006 convicted of first-degree murder and armed assault with intent to murder, receiving life without parole.

The drivers of the getaway vehicles, Carlos Silva and Daniel Fernandes, fled while facing accessory charges and were later located; Daniel Fernandes received a 10-year sentence and Carlos Silva ultimately pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact to murder. Does anyone have additional details about the scene that night or knew Jose DaVeiga or his companions?
