BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are turning to the community for help as they investigate a deadly triple shooting in Roxbury Friday night.

Emergency crews arriving at the scene near the intersection of Westminster and Hammon streets around 7:45 p.m. found three men, two in their thirties, one in their forties, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.

They were transported to an area hospital where the man in his forties was later pronounced dead.

Boston Police Commissioner William G. Gross and Suffolk Country District Attorney later arrived at the scene and said this is a tough blow to the community after two people were shot, one fatally, in Charlestown last night.

“Communities in Boston don’t deserve this,” Gross said. “Individuals that are committed to acts of violence should be prosecuted to the fullest and remain in jail.”

So far, no arrests have been made.

No further information was immediately released.
