BOSTON, MA – Three suspects wanted in connection with separate Boston murders are now behind bars. Kenneth Ford, 43, of Boston; Greg Wright, 21, of Boston and Danilo Depina, 31, of Boston, were captured Wednesday, police said.

"We never forget that for every homicide victim, there are countless family members, friends and loved ones left behind looking for answers and closure," Commissioner William Evans said in a release. "We work hard everyday to make sure we find some sort of peace for them and we won't stop until we do."
