Sidewalk Memorial Appears on Boylston

A sidewalk memorial was put up on Boylston Street over the weekend. The memorial bore the words "RIP Chino" and also memorialized Luis "Mata" Troncoso, killed in 2008, Luis "Tito" Torres in October 2010 and Winsizky Soto and Johnnel "Bo" Cruz, both shot in Same Old Place in November 2010. Police had previously linked Troncoso, Torres, Soto and Cruz to the Boylston Street crew infamous for its feud with rival Mozart Street. The new memorial may be linked to the stabbing death of a man on Saturday in East Boston, but that has not been confirmed by police. As of Monday morning, police were not releasing the victim's name.

Michael Kennedy Buried in Fireman’s Lot at Forest Hills Cemetery

The remains of Firefighter Michael Kennedy rest near those of 15 other Boston firefighters who died in the line of duty and are buried in the Fireman's Lot at Forest Hills Cemetery. Kennedy perished in last week's nine-alarm blaze at a Back Bay brownstone. It has been a week of mourning in Boston as thousands of firefighters from across the country came to honor Kennedy and Lt. Ed Walsh. While Walsh's family picked a burial plot in his native Watertown, Kennedy's family chose the Fireman's Lot. The city of Boston bought the lot in December 1857.
