Arroyo and Tobin
Just because the Globe doesn't report it doesn't mean they're not doing anything. Look for something from Felix Arroyo, who was already working on youth issues.
And just because Universal Hub doesn't report it doesn't mean they're not saying anything. After Jaewon Martin's death, Tobin actually gave a fairly moving speech in the council chambers, which I heard, but never wrote up because I ran out of time, grr: Basically, he got caught in the Jackson Square traffic jam right about 20 minutes after Martin was shot, and it made him realize, he said, that this is really a citywide issue, not just confined to one neighborhood, even if people at the other end of his district really have no idea what's going on. But they should think about what if it had been their kid on a basketball court that day instead of Jaewon Martin.
Murder victim identified
Boston Police report he was Jefferson C. Johnson, 27, of Dorchester.
