Alan Swanson and Willie Bennett were wrongly named as suspects in the death of Carol Stuart, whose husband said they had been shot during an attempted carjacking by a Black gunman. Charles Stuart had instead orchestrated the killing of his wife, Carol Stuart, as they left a birthing class. Mayor Michelle Wu apologized in 2023 for both the pain the men endured and the harm it caused the Black community.
