'Fight Night' Raises Money For Families Of Paul Tracey, Roderick Jackson

WALTHAM, MA — The deaths of Paul Tracey and Roderick Jackson are still on the minds of many in Waltham and Cambridge, and, recently, a fundraiser made sure the families had some help.

Tracey, a Waltham police officer, and Jackson, a National Grid employee hailing from Cambridge, were killed at a worksite on Totten Pond Road in Waltham in December 2023.

The deaths led to mass mourning for many across the state, including at a Waltham funeral service for Tracey and a Cambridge service for Jackson, which brought droves of people to each location.

In March, the Nonantum Boxing Club hosted a "Fight To Remember" event in Newton that raised money for the families.

According to Waltham police, that money was presented to the families last week.
