On a late spring evening in 2011, the life of a young African-American man, Marck Edmond, was tragically cut short on a Boston street. At the age of 22, the male victim was fatally shot on May 29, 2011. The incident occurred at the intersection of Itasca and Messinger Streets in the Mattapan neighborhood.
When Boston police officers responded to a call for a person shot, they discovered Edmond suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced deceased, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later determined his death to be a homicide.
The death of Marck Edmond was one of 34 homicides to occur in the Dorchester and Mattapan areas that year, contributing to a grim statistic for the community. Despite the passage of time, his case remains an open and unsolved investigation with the Boston Police Department.
Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the shooting. The investigation into who was responsible for the death of Marck Edmond continues, with law enforcement still seeking information from the public that might lead to a breakthrough in the case.
