In the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, on the night of October 21, 1995, the life of 23-year-old Bernard Wheeler was tragically cut short. Police responded to a call of a person shot at 77 Homestead Street. Upon their arrival, they discovered Wheeler, who had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. He was pronounced deceased at the scene, and his death was subsequently ruled a homicide.
The specific circumstances that led to the shooting of the young male remain unclear.
In the years that have passed since that fatal autumn evening, the case has remained open. Despite investigations by the Boston Police Department, no arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Bernard Wheeler. Information regarding any potential suspects or the motive behind the shooting has not been publicly released.
The case is now listed among the city's unsolved homicides from 1995. The Boston Police Department continues to solicit information from the public, hoping that someone will come forward with the key piece of evidence that could bring closure to the family of Bernard Wheeler and see that justice is served.
