Man Accused Of Killing Boston GrubHub Driver Pleads Guilty

BOSTON — A man charged in the 2018 killing of a GrubHub driver in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood pleaded guilty on Tuesday.

Tyler Sales was charged in connection to the shooting death of Raymond Holloway-Creighton, 26, in Roxbury and accepted a plea agreement - pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, set to serve at least 23 years in prison.

On Oct. 5, 2018, Holloway-Creighton was shot in the back while riding his scooter during an attempted robbery near McDonald's on Massachusetts Avenue in Roxbury.

Police say Holloway-Creighton was on his way home from delivering food for GrubHub, one of his three jobs when he was fatally shot.

"He never had a criminal record. He never was in a gang. He worked three jobs, and he was trying to provide for his wife and his child, and this had to happen to him," Holloway-Creighton's mother told the Boston Globe in 2018.

At the time of his death, Holloway-Creighton's wife and one-year-old son were living in the Netherlands.

Holloway-Creighton was the first of five men killed in Dorchester and Mattapan between Friday and Sunday mornings of that week, police said.
