BOSTON (WHDH) - Police launched an investigation into a deadly shooting in Dorchester early Thursday morning.

He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His name has not been released.

Officers reportedly located ballistic evidence in the area.

One man who lives in the area called the shooting extremely upsetting.

“It’s just scary, you know? You come out the house and something happens. Early morning, night, it doesn’t matter. You have family, I got kids; I got two daughters,” he said. “There are definitely good people around here. It’s a very good community, don’t get me wrong. But you have your bad people in it, too, you know? You can’t change that.”
