Answer:

Private Hugh Montgomery.

Step-by-step explanation:

He was found guilty of making the first shot in the Massacre and was indicted for murder.

The Boston Massacre was a confrontation between British soldiers and a mob that was harassing them.

Montgomery along with other private were the only ones convicted but they avoid the death sentence. They receive a reduced sentence, they got branded on their thumb with a hot iron with the letter "M" for murder.

I hope this answer helps you.
