A man has died after he was shot Thursday night in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood.
Boston police say officers responded around 9:35 p.m. to Craftson Way and Huntington Ave. for a reported shooting and arrived to find an adult male who had been shot multiple times.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said. He was identified Monday as 25-year-old Braulio Castillo of Jamaica Plain.
No arrests have been made at this time, according to police. There was no word on any possible suspects.
Investigators were focused on a dark-colored car at the scene, right near the enVision Hotel by the Jamaica Plain/Mission Hill line. The car's passenger side window was riddled with bullet holes, and numerous evidence markers were scattered on the ground. Police have not said at this time if the victim was shot while inside the car.
Neighbors said they heard the gunfire, but not everyone recognized it for what it was.
“I was working on homework in my living room and I heard a bunch of pops," explained Sandra Barlett.
“I thought it was like a car accident or something," added another neighbor, Aimee Rondero. “I heard all these dogs barking.. And I was just … I, I have never experienced anything like that.”
An investigation is active and ongoing.
