Police, Prosecutors Seeking Info on Hyde Park Shooting

BOSTON, Aug. 14, 2018—State Police detectives assigned to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office are asking for the public’s help as they investigate a non-fatal shooting in Hyde Park yesterday evening.

The preliminary investigation by the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit, with the assistance of specialized State Police units and the Boston Police Department, suggests that the 26-year-old male victim suffered a nonfatal gunshot wound as he drove northeast on Truman Parkway shortly before 6:15 pm. He was transported to Boston Medical Center and is expected to survive.

The investigation further suggests that at least one occupant of another vehicle fired multiple shots at the victim’s car in the area surrounding 738 Truman Parkway, then fled the scene at a high rate of speed. Interviews are ongoing, but troopers hope to speak with anyone who witnessed the incident, its aftermath, or the suspect vehicle as it left the area, or who may have captured any portion of the incident on video.

The Suffolk State Police Detective Unit can be reached at 617-727-8817. Troopers are investigating the incident because it occurred on a State roadway.
