As the Dorchester Reporter noted yesterday, the quadruple homicide at or near 40 Woolson Street in Mattapan late Monday-early Tuesday occurred directly next door to the scene of an August 28 shooting that left one man wounded.

Now the Phoenix has learned that both of those properties – 40 and 42 Woolson Street, as well as an abutting lot on Wildwood Street – are owned by relatives of a Boston Police Department (BPD) officer who lives at 40 Woolson.
