According to a police statement, Boakye was found with gunshot wounds, and despite life-saving measures performed at the scene, he succumbed to his injuries after being transported to the hospital.
Detective Phillip Campbell, in a subsequent media interview, revealed that Boakye and another unnamed 16-year-old boy were both “shot indiscriminately” less than 24 hours apart while waiting for a bus in the same area.
“Our investigation thus far has revealed there is no relationship between Mr. Boakye and the individual, or individuals, who shot him,” Det. Campbell stated.
