Do you know who murdered Bryan Santos? On the evening of November 20, 2015, a burst of gunfire shattered the relative calm of a municipal parking lot in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, leaving one man dead and another wounded. The deceased was identified as Bryan Santos, a 24-year-old Hispanic male from East Boston. The shooting occurred shortly before 6 p.m. near the corner of Wyman and Centre streets. First responders arrived to a chaotic scene, where they discovered Santos with a fatal gunshot wound to the head.
He was pronounced dead at the location.
A second, unnamed individual was also found at the scene, having sustained a gunshot wound to the torso. This victim was rushed to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. The immediate aftermath saw Centre Street shut down between Hyde and Jackson squares as Boston Police homicide detectives began their investigation, canvassing the area for evidence and witnesses to piece together the events that led to the deadly encounter.
Witnesses at the scene provided a description of a possible suspect who fled the area shortly after the shots were fired. They described a man limping, wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans, who got into a car that then sped away from the parking lot. Despite this description, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the murder of Bryan Santos. The investigation into the double shooting that claimed a young man's life and left another fighting for his remains ongoing.
