BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston police have launched a death investigation after a man was found dead Wednesday morning in a home in Dorchester.
Officers responding to a report of shots fired at a home on Milton Avenue around 10 a.m. pronounced the victim dead at the scene, according to Boston police.
Police have not yet determined if the victim, whose name has not been released, died as the result of gunshot wounds.
Dozens of detectives could be seen scouring the area outside of the home for hours. The neighborhood was sealed off with crime tape.
Concerned and anxious neighbors say they are unnerved by the deadly discovery.
“For this to happen, it’s just tragic,” Lia DuBose told 7News. “Why would somebody do that, let alone on a peaceful street?”
No arrests have been made. Detectives plan to comb through surveillance video in the area.
