On November 7, 2001, 16-year-old Geoffrey Douglas was fatally shot on the Fields Corner MBTA station platform in Dorchester, Boston. A student at the Media and Technology Charter High School and described as an artist and popular with classmates, he was heading home when he was attacked. The motive given in the case was the theft of a gold chain he was wearing.

The Boston Police Department investigation was led by Detective Daniel Keeler. Two men, Aderito A. Barbosa, 21, and John F. Monteiro, 23, were tried for the killing. The prosecution said the pair killed Douglas after he refused to hand over the chain; the defense argued Douglas produced a 10-inch blade and raised self-defense. A Suffolk County jury acquitted both men of murder but convicted them of armed assault with intent to rob, a charge that carries a mandatory five-year sentence and up to twenty years. Sentencing was scheduled for May 20, 2005.
