In the late hours of a Thursday evening in Boston, the life of 35-year-old Frederick Mathieson, a male, was tragically cut short. On October 7, 2010, at approximately 11:40 p.m., the sound of gunshots echoed through the Cathedral public housing project in the South End. Boston Police officers who were in the vicinity and heard the shots responded immediately to the scene at 42 Harrison Archway.
Upon their arrival, they discovered that Mathieson had been shot. He was quickly transported to the nearby Boston Medical Center, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced deceased. The death of Mathieson was one of several homicides in the city that year, contributing to the ongoing concerns about violence.
Despite the immediate response from law enforcement, the perpetrator of the shooting was not apprehended. The case has since been listed among the unsolved homicides of 2010 by the Boston Police Department. To date, there has been no public information released regarding any suspects or arrests in connection with the murder of Frederick Mathieson. His death remains an open and unresolved case, leaving his family and community without answers or justice for his untimely death.
