It's the oldest unsolved murder case on file with the Worcester Police Department Detective Unit.
March 11, 1951.
20-year-old Irish immigrant Sean Goggin is gunned down inside the entrance of a home on Fairhaven Road in Worcester's Burncoat neighorhood.
Two men in trench coats, one wearing a handkerchief to cover his face, fired three shots into the Fairhaven Road home, with one bullet striking Sean in the chest and killing him.
As Sean slumped to the ground, the men ran off across the front lawn, hopped into a car and sped away.
More than 70 years later, the murder of Sean Goggin remains unsolved.
