Charles Stuart (murderer)
Charles "Chuck" Stuart (December 18, 1959 – January 4, 1990) was an apparent victim, with his wife Carol DiMaiti Stuart, of a violent carjacking in Roxbury, Boston, Massachusetts. Stuart was injured in the leg by a gunshot, while his wife was killed by a shot to the head. Stuart blamed the incident on an African-American male, leading to a futile manhunt and inflaming racial tensions in Boston. Stuart's brother, Matthew, eventually disclosed that Stuart had in fact killed his wife and shot himself. Before Stuart could be questioned, he apparently committed suicide by jumping off the Tobin Bridge.
