BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police are investigating the city’s 54th homicide of the year after a man was fatally shot in Mattapan Monday night, authorities said.
Officers responding to a call for a person shot in the area of 155 Savannah Ave. around 10 p.m. found a man inside a car suffering from several gunshot wounds to the upper torso, Police Commissioner William Gross said.
“The officers tried to perform CPR to no avail,” he added.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.
“It doesn’t appear to be random at this time, but again, the investigation is in its infancy,” Gross said.
Police are on the lookout for a maroon van that reportedly fled the area.
