Stephen Hill, 54, a white male, was found on the morning of December 18, 2012, in Boston’s Fenway area, where first responders were called for a report of a person stabbed near 59 The Fenway. He was identified by authorities and pronounced dead, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the manner of death to be homicide.
He was discovered on a park bench by the Mother’s Rest playground in the Back Bay Fens—across from 59 The Fenway—after a 7:22 a.m. call to police. Early local reporting noted that he may have been experiencing homelessness, a detail investigators did not elaborate on publicly as they focused on establishing what led to the fatal attack.
Within days, detectives appealed to the public for witnesses or information, naming the victim as Stephen D. Hill, 54, and emphasizing the location by 59 The Fenway. Despite those appeals, no arrests were announced and the case remains listed among Boston Police Department’s unsolved homicides for 2012.
