Police 'Making Progress' On Fatal Shooting Of Malden Teen

MALDEN, MA — Police are "making progress" in the investigation of Jaden Britto-White's murder, Chief Kevin Molis said Friday. The 18-year-old Malden resident was standing outside his Bowdoin Street apartment building when two men came up and shot him Dec. 29.

"I am very confident witnessing the work of our detectives, detectives from the Massachusetts State Police and all that are involved in solving this crime, that the amount of effort they are putting in is inspired by the demand for justice and the grief of the victim's mother, and the family, and loved ones, who miss him and have lost him," Molis said.

Police renewed a call for the public's help Friday. Anyone with information is asked to call Malden detectives at 781-397-7181.

Since the shooting, the community has rallied around Britto-White's family. A vigil was held outside their apartment building Dec. 30, and a GoFundMe campaign for Britto-White's mother has raised more than $20,000.
