In the autumn of 2007, the life of Andre Stoner, a 28-year-old African-American man, was tragically cut short on a street in Boston. On the evening of October 17, 2007, police responded to a report of a person shot at 3 Esmond Street. There, they found Stoner suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced deceased at the scene, and his death was later ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
A husband to Grizel Echevarria-Stoner and a father to two sons, Drequawn
and Daelyn, Stoner was mourned by a grieving family and community. His funeral was held on October 26, 2007, at the Greater Love Tabernacle in Dorchester. In a devastating turn of events, during the funeral service, news spread that Stoner's cousin had been found dead in a nearby elementary school parking lot, also from a gunshot wound.
As of now, the death of Andre Stoner remains an unsolved homicide. Boston Police Department's active investigation has not led to any publicly announced arrests or the identification of any suspects. Authorities have continued to appeal to the public for any information that might lead to a break in the case and bring closure to his family.
