In 2025, Massachusetts authorities identified Kevin Lino as a serial killer after connecting him to the cold-case murders of two unhoused men. Already serving life for separate homicides in Massachusetts and Montana, Lino is accused of targeting vulnerable individuals within homeless encampments to enforce his own brutal rules. Investigators initially misclassified these deaths as accidental or undetermined, but persistence from cold-case units and new witness testimony eventually linked the crimes to his pattern of violence. Experts suggest Lino’s behavior reflects a pathological need for control over marginalized communities that are often overlooked by the legal system. The case highlights the profound risks faced by the unhoused and the critical role of modern forensics in securing justice for forgotten victims. Consequently, these developments have sparked a broader conversation regarding systemic failures in protecting the most invisible members of society.
