BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police have launched a death investigation in Dorchester, officials announced Thursday.

Officers responding to the area of 357 Columbia Road around 2:20 p.m. found one person dead inside a triple-decker apartment, according to the Boston Police Department.

Video from the scene showed a bullet-riddled Chevrolet Malibu parked outside of the apartment.

A neighborhood resident told 7NEWS that the damaged vehicle has been parked on the street for “several days.”

The area has since been roped off with yellow crime scene tape.
