Varelis Pereyra, age 4, female, was found gravely injured inside an apartment at 1833 Washington Street, Unit 1B, in Boston on November 12, 2013. First responders were called for a trauma at the address and the child was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
In the immediate aftermath, police described the child only as a young girl found unresponsive at around 4:41–4:42 p.m., emphasizing the life-threatening nature of her injuries as she was rushed to
Boston Medical Center. Her identity was not released publicly at that time, but the location and timing match the later identification of Varelis Pereyra.
Years later, in 2016, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner formally ruled the manner of Varelis Pereyra’s death a homicide, and the Boston Police Department added her case to its list of unsolved homicides. The department’s summary for the case confirms her name, age, date, and the apartment address, but provides no public detail about how she was killed.
Public records and police postings do not reflect any arrests in connection with Varelis Pereyra’s death, nor do they name any suspect. The case remains open, with investigators continuing to list it among Boston’s unresolved homicides.
