Despite the Fourth of July and the celebrations that came with it, it was a violent night in Boston, leaving one person dead and others hurt.
Homicide investigators were on scene Friday morning on Blue Hill Avenue in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, where a person was shot just before 5:45 a.m. Friday, Boston police said.
The victim has life-threatening injuries, police said.
However, before that happened, in Roxbury, officers were called to a scene near Shawmut Avenue near Ramsey Park shortly after 1:30 a.m. Friday.
When they arrived, they found a man who had been shot. He was taken to the hospital, where he died. His name wasn't immediately released.
Right around the same time, police were investigating a shooting on Centre Street in Jamaica Plain — not too far from the Jackson Square T station.
There, officers found three people that had been shot. All were taken to the hospital, but police say they have non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made.
Another shooting on Donwood Terrace in Mattapan killed a man and left a woman injured.
The shootings remain under investigation.
