Boston man charged with killing mother of his children in South End apartment
Briefly

Shantel Gillespie was found dead in a South End apartment just days after completing her nursing degree. She was the mother of three children under six and was working towards a better future for them. Eric McPhail was arrested in connection with her murder, with reports indicating a history of domestic violence. Her family has raised over $53,000 in her honor, acknowledging her dedication as a hardworking Clinical Assistant and student. Gillespie's tragic story has drawn attention to issues of domestic violence, especially among single mothers seeking to improve their lives.
This was a lengthy and thorough investigation and I'm grateful for the work of all involved to bring this suspect forward to answer for Shantel Gillespie's tragic death.
My sister had 1 goal in life: to make a better life for herself so her children would grow up wanting of nothing. From long work hours, to classes and clinical, to coming home to nurture 3 children.
