Boston police today appealed for the public’s help in the search for the killer of US Army veteran Stephen Perez, who was shot to death April 28 as nightclubs were closing in downtown Boston’s Theater District.
Police released surveillance camera video of four men running down the ramp of the parking lot where the shooting took place, saying they wanted to identify the men, whom police believe may have some connection to the city of Lynn.

“Homicide detectives are extremely interested in ascertaining the identity of particularly the four individuals that can be seen in rapid succession moving down the ramp,” said police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll.
“We continue to ask anyone with information to come forward. Maybe this video will jog someone’s memory, and even if someone thinks it’s insignficant, we really need them to come forward,” she said.
Police are asking people to submit cellphone pictures or videos taken near Tremont and Stuart streets between 10 p.m. on April 27 and 2 a.m. on April 28. Police want to look at photos or videos “which may include background images.’’
Police are also asking for people to submit pictures taken in “the surrounding establishments” during the same time-frame.
People with images are asked to e-mail them to Boston Police Sergeant Detective Marc Sullivan at SullivanMa.bpd@ci.boston.ma.us.
Perez had recently completed his service with the US Army and was hoping to become a federal law enforcement officer. He was shot in the back around 2 a.m. April 28 in the parking garage at 290 Tremont St.
Perez, 22, was rushed to Tufts Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Perez was a Revere resident and had served tours of duty in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
His funeral was this morning in Revere and he was buried this afternoon at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne with full military honors.
