- The victim, 29-year-old Breidy Martinez of Dorchester, was found fatally shot shortly before noon on July 15 near 15 York St., and a motorized scooter believed to be his was recovered at the scene.
- Investigators recovered ballistic evidence in the area of Glenway Street and say the probe remains active as detectives follow additional leads.
- Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said it was too early to determine whether the shooting was random or targeted and that there is no known broader danger to the public; attorney information for the suspect was not immediately available.
- Police asked anyone with information to call Boston Police detectives at 617-343-4470 and noted the case includes specific charges such as discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling, a statute that can carry enhanced penalties.
