Raymell D. Boston, a 29-year-old resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, tragically lost his life on July 30, 2021. Boston, a leukemia survivor, was fatally shot while walking his dog, Lucky, near North 38th Street and West Glendale Avenue, just a few blocks from his home. The incident occurred around 6:45 p.m., and despite being armed with two guns for protection, Boston was unable to defend himself against the unexpected attack.
Witnesses reported seeing Boston conversing with an individual
in a gray Infiniti shortly before the shooting. The person in the vehicle allegedly yelled, 'I should kill you right now,' before Boston attempted to flee through an alley. Unfortunately, he was shot and succumbed to his injuries at the scene. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and the incident has left Boston's family and friends devastated, describing him as a kind and sweet individual with an infectious laugh.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Milwaukee police canvassed the neighborhood and followed various leads, but no arrests have been made so far. The family has been actively seeking justice, going door-to-door to gather information and offering a reward for any tips that could lead to an arrest. The lack of progress in the investigation has been a source of frustration and heartache for Boston's loved ones, who continue to hope for answers and justice.
Boston's death has not only impacted his family but also the broader community, including the schools and people he interacted with. The senseless nature of the crime has underscored the ongoing issue of gun violence in Milwaukee, prompting calls for increased efforts to address and prevent such tragedies. As of now, the investigation remains open, and the search for the perpetrator continues.
