Add another blue dot to the map. What a waste.

The Globe reports on the death of Tamon Evans-Choate, whose mother had moved the family to Florida in search of a better life when he was a little kid.

New version

Globe posted online the Wednesday edition version of that Tuesday News Update.

Differences between the two versions are minor: style guide editing throughout, removal of the reference to a particular house number on the street, removal of a couple presumably immaterial facts, and addition that no arrests have yet been made.

This is a nice job by the Globe and Brian R. Ballou. I hope that they'll be able to keep doing this and more for other murder victims, as well as stay on top of this particular case.
