The heartbroken parents of a Boston College student murdered six years ago are posting a big reward to help break their son's case.
Maribel Pomales-Bunch and her husband Dan are upset their son's murder remains unsolved after six years. On October 8, 2011, Daniel Bunch was shot to death in Mattapan in front of as many as 15 eyewitnesses, some of them Daniel's friends, yet no one is talking.
"I'm outraged at the fact that they say they were Daniel's friends. I know for a fact they saw what happened to my son," said Maribel.
Now, Daniel's parents are offering a $10,000 reward for information.

"I believe this might, might spur someone to say, OK I'm going to talk. It might," said Dan.
On the night Daniel was killed, he was at the Blue Hill Ave. Mobile Station with his friends, where they were meeting before going out to a party.
Boston Police Homicide Sgt. Detective James Wyse tells Boston 25 News reporter Bob Ward the killer simply walked up to Daniel and executed him, shooting Daniel at point blank range, several times, in front of witnesses.

"This is probably the most frustrating part of our job. When we have a case that's solvable we just cannot get that little push to get it over the top," said Wyse.
Bunch was a BC student, who had plans for his life. His parents want to make sure someone is held accountable and they hope their reward will help.
"That is an open wound right now. But it will bring a little justice for Daniel," said Maribel.
"It would be huge because all of a sudden someone can help bring some closure for us. Someone can bring some closure to the system," said Dan.
If you have any information about what happened to Daniel Bunch, call Boston Police Crime Stoppers at 1.800.494.TIPS.
