Edward Francis Ed Conley, a 56-year-old from East Bridgewater, was killed just after midnight on February 16, 2008, in Brockton, Massachusetts. Responding officers initially treated the scene as a hit-and-run; Conley’s taxicab was found on the front lawn of a residence and he was discovered inside lying across the front seat with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators say the killing followed a planned robbery of a taxi driver. Two teenagers, Adilson Neves, 17, and Antonio Fernandes, 16, reportedly got into the back of Conley’s cab. Authorities say Neves pointed a gun at the back of Conley’s head and fired the shot that killed him; a third teen, Jeffrey Milton, was also implicated. An Adidas sneaker recovered at the scene was later admitted by Neves to be his.

In April 2011 a jury found Adilson Neves guilty of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole; that conviction was upheld on appeal in 2016. If anyone knew Conley, his routes, or saw a taxi on Galen Street that night, please share what was observed.
