unfortunately, it looks like this is in Dorchester, not Roxbury

First, the key thing here is somebody is dead.

Second, the last time I wrote about something at Dudley and Cottage, I was told in no uncertain terms that's Roxbury. Can somebody clue me in?

Why not drop the neighborhood identification entirely and just list the street since no one can agree on neighborhood boundaries?

It would save a lot of time a kvetching for talking about important things.

correct, someone is dead (didn't mean to take away from that) but the 02125 zip code belongs to Dorchester (https://www.boston.gov/neighborhood/dorchester)
