A young man is shot and killed at a Boston bar
On a fall evening in Boston, on November 13, 1982, a young man's life was cut short in an act of violence that remains a mystery to this day. Stephen McManus, a 29-year-old male, was at 1233 Bennington Street when he was fatally shot. The Boston Police Department responded to a call for a person shot at that location and found McManus deceased. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner would later determine his death to be a homicide.
In the years that have passed since that night, the case of Stephen McManus has grown cold. Despite the initial investigation and any leads that may have been pursued at the time, no arrests have ever been made in connection with his murder. The identity of any suspect or suspects remains unknown, and the motive behind the shooting has not been brought to light. The Boston Police Department continues to list this case among its unsolved homicides, a silent testament to a life taken and a quest for justice that has yet to find its conclusion. The community is still encouraged to come forward with any information that might shed light on the events of that tragic day.
