In the early hours of a Sunday morning in Boston, the life of 24-year-old Earl Mejia was tragically cut short. On October 25, 2020, in the neighborhood of Roxbury, a report of shots fired brought police to the area of 18 Dunreath Terrace shortly after midnight. There, they found Mejia suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Earl Mejia, a resident of Boston, was known as a social and respectable young man.
