On July 19, 2020, Dante 'Chop' Carlor, a 16-year-old, and his friend K'Shaun Webster, 17, were found shot in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Both teens were taken to local hospitals where they were pronounced dead. The incident has left a profound impact on their families and the community, and as of the current date, the case remains unsolved.
The investigation into their deaths is ongoing, with the Boston Police Department actively reviewing the facts and circumstances
surrounding the incident. Police have released contact information for anyone with information to come forward, including a tipline and a CrimeStoppers Tip Line. Despite these efforts, no arrests have been made in connection with the murders of Dante Carlor and K'Shaun Webster.
The aftermath of their deaths was further complicated by a grave mix-up. The families had planned for the teens to be buried side by side at Hope Cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts. However, it was later discovered that the teens were buried in each other's gravesites. This mistake was attributed to the George Lopes Funeral Home by the City of Worcester, which owns the cemetery. The families were informed that they would have to exhume one of the teens to correct the error, a decision that neither mother wanted to make. Eventually, the cemetery decided to exhume Dante's remains, confirming the switch-up. The city later moved Dante's headstone from K'Shaun's grave to the correct location after being contacted by WBZ-TV about the issue.
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins and Boston Police Sgt. John Boyle have both acknowledged the ongoing investigation and the pain it has caused the families and community. Rollins emphasized the compounded pain caused by the careless error in the burial process, while Boyle declined to release additional information outside of the initial 2020 press statement due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
As the case continues without any identified suspects or arrests, the community remains vigilant, with resources such as the Boston Neighborhood Trauma Team providing support for those affected by the tragedy. The Boston Police Department continues to seek any information that could lead to the resolution of this case, urging anyone with knowledge to contact them anonymously if necessary.
