On the evening of December 8, 2008, at about 6:35 PM, officers from District B‑3 responded to a radio call for a person shot in the area of 120 Southern Avenue in Dorchester. They found 19‑year‑old David Neal Gaskins of Boston suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased.

The Boston Police Department describes the death as an unsolved homicide and is actively reviewing the facts and circumstances. Investigators have asked anyone with information to contact the Boston Police Homicide Unit or to provide tips anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
