On a summer evening in Boston, tragedy struck a local family. Manny Montissol, a 19-year-old African-American male, was shot on July 11, 2007. The incident occurred at 96 Hazelton Street in the Mattapan neighborhood.
Around 6:45 p.m., officers from the Roxbury district responded to a call for a person shot near the intersection of Walnut Avenue and Townsend Street in Dorchester. Upon arrival, they found Montissol suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was quickly transported to Boston Medical Center for treatment. Despite the efforts of medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later determined that Montissol's death was a homicide. The Boston Police Department opened an investigation into the shooting, actively seeking information from the public to help understand the circumstances surrounding the fatal event. They urged anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact the Homicide Unit.
To date, the case remains unsolved. No arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Manny Montissol, and no suspect or suspects have been publicly identified. His death is listed among the unsolved homicides for the city of Boston in 2007, a painful reminder of a life cut short and a case that still awaits resolution.
