The Boston Police Department is actively seeking information to identify a suspect involved in an unarmed carjacking in Roxbury. The incident reportedly occurred last Saturday around 2:08 p.m. near 225 Dudley Street, according to a community alert issued by the BPD.
Details provided by the police describe the suspect as a Black male, believed to be 19-20 years old, who was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, green puffy vest, and gray sweatpants. The suspect is said to have attempted to forcibly gain entry into a vehicle that had the victim’s children inside before choosing to hastily flee through the backyards of Greenville Street.
