The Boston Police Department released a 16-second clip of surveillance footage of a scooter driver they’d like to speak with regarding an alleged fight-turned-murder in the South End last weekend.
In the clip, the scooter driver can be seen driving drown the sidewalk near 1071 Mass Ave., where the alleged incident took place. The driver then turns around, and the scooter rides down the sidewalk in the opposite direction.
“This person seen in the video is not a suspect nor is he suspected of any wrong doing relative to this incident,” police said in a release. “This person is being sought for informational purposes only and may have knowledge [that] could be helpful to investigators.”
Officers responded at about 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 to the area of 1071 Mass. Ave. in the South End and found a man suffering life-threatening injuries, police said. He was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he was declared dead.
He was later identified as Stephen Cherup, 50, of Pittsburgh.
The other man believed to be involved in the fight, Peter McGowan, 53, of Boston, was arrested and charged with murder.
The case is still an active investigation.
Anyone who knows the identify of the person on the scooter or has information about the case should call 617-343-4470, or anonymously leave a tip at 1-800-494-TIPS.
