Jermaine Berry, a 30-year-old African-American male, tragically lost his life on the streets of Boston in the fall of 2010.

Upon arrival, officers discovered Berry suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The following day, some reports indicated the shooting occurred at 481 Geneva Ave. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later determined that Berry's death was a homicide. The incident was one of many homicides that plagued the Dorchester and Mattapan neighborhoods that year.
