Two men are shot to death while sitting in a Walgreens parking lot Mibsam Wiggins, a 23-year-old African-American man, was fatally shot on the afternoon of May 3, 2013, in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. He and another man, 22-year-old Tremayne Jackson, were sitting in a car parked in a Walgreens parking lot on Warren Street when the deadly shooting occurred. Wiggins was pronounced dead at the scene, while Jackson was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he also succumbed to his injuries.
The incident, which unfolded near Boston Latin Academy shortly before students were to be dismissed for the day, marked another chapter in the city's gun violence.
For several years, the case of the double homicide remained without a publicly named suspect, leaving the families of the victims and the community searching for answers. Boston police homicide detectives and the Suffolk County District Attorney's office continued their investigation into the brazen afternoon shooting that claimed the lives of the two young men. The lack of an immediate arrest highlighted the challenges often faced in solving such violent crimes.
In September 2017, a significant breakthrough was announced in the case. Tabari Muhammad, who was 26 years old at the time, was indicted by a Suffolk County grand jury on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of Mibsam Wiggins and Tremayne Jackson. Muhammad was already serving a prison sentence for a separate 2013 shooting at the time he was charged with the murders. His arraignment brought a long-awaited development in the pursuit of justice for the two victims.
