BOSTON (AP) - Police have identified the teenager whose body was found in East Boston near Logan International Airport.
Boston Police said Wednesday that the victim 18-year-old Luis Fernando Orellano Ruano. They said he’s from Central America, but didn’t specify where.
Police were called to Airport Way late Saturday night and discovered the victim suffering from apparent stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
No arrests have been reported.
Officers continue to investigate the case and appealed to anyone with information to call the department’s homicide unit.
The Boston Globe reports that police are investigating whether the killing is connected to the deaths of four other teenage boys in East Boston since September 2015, at least three of which police believe were gang-related.
