On a summer evening in Boston, tragedy struck in the neighborhood of Roxbury. Andrew Reed, a 28-year-old Black man, was on Ernst Street on August 12, 2015, when violence erupted. The Boston Police Department received a call and responded to the scene at 12 Ernst Street, where they found that Reed had been shot. He was pronounced deceased, and his death was ruled a homicide.
The incident that claimed Andrew Reed's life also resulted in the death of 20-year-old Angel Oller and left a third
person wounded. The shooting took place in the Egleston Square area, marking a night of significant violence in the city. The community was left shaken by the loss of two young lives in a single event.
In the years that have followed, the case of Andrew Reed's murder has remained unresolved. The Boston Police Department continues to list his death as an unsolved homicide from 2015. Despite initial investigations, no suspects have been publicly identified, and no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. The circumstances surrounding the events of that fatal night on Ernst Street remain an open question for law enforcement, and a painful memory for the families who await answers and justice.
