On an autumn evening in Boston, the life of a young African-American man, Jaquan Mitchell, was tragically cut short. On October 5, 2012, in the city's Roxbury neighborhood, the 20-year-old male was shot at 10 Trotter Court. When Boston Police responded to the scene, they found Mitchell suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the location.
The official cause of his death was determined to be a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The Boston Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting, and the case is listed among the city's unsolved homicides for that year.
To date, there have been no arrests made in connection with the murder of Jaquan Mitchell, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The circumstances surrounding the shooting and a motive have not been released to the public. His death remains an open and unresolved case.
