After drinking beer with co-workers, he was shot dead in his parents' driveway in Harvard. His murder was never solved.

On the evening of April 5, 1979, Johnny Donaldson worked the night shift at the Sheraton Boxborough, then drank beer with co-workers before heading home.

He was found in his car by his brother, with a trail of blood running down his face and six gunshot wounds that led to his instant death.

Police Chief John Reardon noted the unusual nature of the crime, stating that no one in the quiet neighborhood reported hearing the gunshots, which were .22-caliber.

The investigation revealed connections to nearby incidents of gunfire, including shots fired at a gas station and a liquor store, raising questions about the motive.
