The memorial for Brandon John on Rowe Street today.
A concerned citizen has a request about the ad-hoc memorial on Rowe Street:
The memorial where that kid got shot in early January is still here, can that be removed? My family doesn't like the constant reminder that a kid got murdered on our block.
Brandon John's shooting murder on Rowe Street last Thursday appears to be the result of friction between two groups of young men, a Boston Police official told residents tonight.
"It does not appear a random act at all," Deputy Supt. John Brown - who lives a short walk from the murder scene - said at a community meeting at Sacred Heart Church. "It was very directed. ... It happened for a reason."
Friends are identifying the person found shot to death on Rowe Street in Roslindale late Thursday as Brandon John, 18, a senior at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School.
UPDATE: Victim identified as Brandon John, a student at Madison Park.
Stanley Staco reports a man was found gunned down shortly after 11 p.m. at 136 Rowe St.
