One man is dead and another injured after a double shooting inside a multi-family home in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood Monday evening.

Boston police detective Paul McLaughlin says officers responded to multiple calls for help reporting two people had been shot at 5 Trent Street around 6:36 p.m. and found two men with gunshot wounds.

Both victims were treated on scene and taken to a local hospital, where one of the victims died from his injuries, McLaughlin said. His name has not been released.

The second victim is expected to be OK.

Video from the scene shows red crime scene tape and yellow police tape sectioning off a portion of Trent Street with several officers and police cruisers.

Little is known at this point as it's very early in the investigation, McLaughlin said, but they do know the shooting occurred inside the Trent Street home.

No arrests have been made at this point, McLaughlin added. Police do believe they are looking for more than one suspect. It's not clear if they took off on foot, or if they drove off.

Officers are currently canvassing the neighborhood for video and witnesses. They're asking nearby neighbors to check their surveillance cameras.

Anyone who has video or information that could help this investigation is asked to contact homicide detectives at 617-343-4470, or call the CrimeStoppers tip line at 1-800-494-TIPS.
