NEW BEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are searching for a gunman after they said a man was found shot to death Wednesday morning outside a multi-unit building in New Bedford.
Authorities said officers responded at around 11 a.m. to a home at 146 Matthews Rd. and found a 20-year-old man that had been shot “several times.” The man was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A SWAT team was called to the home because the suspect was believed to be barricaded inside. Police set up a perimeter around the neighborhood but were unable to locate the suspected killer.
Police said officers found a firearm at the scene. A car was also towed away from the scene. There is no immediate word on what led to the shooting.
The suspect is described as a young man, who is said to be armed and dangerous. A photo of the suspect is expected to be released at later time.
Police have not yet released the name of the suspect or victim.
