On the evening of June 23, 1999, 18-year-old Khari Rattigan of Milton was shot to death on 40 Langdon Street in Roxbury, Boston. Police who responded to reports of a person shot found Rattigan and he was pronounced dead at the scene; the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide.

Public details about the shooting were sparse from the start. No motive, suspects, or arrests have been publicly identified, and the case is listed among Boston’s unsolved homicides from that period. Rattigan’s death has been mentioned in connection with a broader feud between rival groups of Cape Verdean youths active in Dorchester and Roxbury in the late 1990s, but there is no definitive public link between that violence and this specific killing.

Anyone with information about Khari Rattigan, his movements that night, or the neighborhood around 40 Langdon Street is asked to come forward.
