Delois Brown, a 73-year-old grandmother, died after being hit by a stray bullet while sitting on her porch in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood in April of 2021.
As community activists look to address the ongoing gun violence in the city of Boston, they are renewing their push to find the killer of a grandmother last year in Dorchester.. Police have yet to arrest in the case.
"Our family is still hurt from our loved one being killed out here on the streets, and nobody is coming forward to help police solve these cases," said Brown's daughter, Shirley Brown.Sign up for NECN newsletters.Brown said she knows someone knows something that could help police track down the shooter, but she has become frustrated since no one has come forward.
The lack of leads from the community is why a group of activists is now renewing its calls for justice, posting flyers reminding everyone that"Within the Black community, there is a culture of silence that needs to be addressed," Rev. Kevin Peterson said.
