BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are investigating a shooting late Tuesday night that left one man dead and another injured, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired in the area of 66 Walnut Park in the city’s Jamaica Plain section around 11 p.m. found two men suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the Boston Police Department.
One victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the second victim remains hospitalized in stable condition. Their names have not been released.
Two other people of interest in the shooting are being questioned, police said.
Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden noted that the shooting appears to be targeted and the community is not in danger.
“It’s unfortunate that we have another tragic loss of life in just a few short days here and that’s unfortunate,” Hayden said in a statement. “It appears to be targeted so I don’t think the community needs to be concerned in terms of just sort of random shooting sprees and that sort of thing.”
The deadly incident comes on the heels of a string of recent shootings in the city.
A double shooting at a gas station in Roslindale on Friday night left one dead and another person was fatally shot in broad daylight near Orchard Park in Roxbury on Monday. Two people were also shot and wounded in South Boston early Tuesday morning.
Anyone with information on the shootings is urged to contact Boston police detectives.
