BOSTON — For the second day in a row, a person has been shot in a brazen afternoon shooting in Roxbury.
Wednesday's shooting shortly before 3 p.m. followed a fatal shooting on Tuesday afternoon that killed a man in his 20s.
Boston Police confirmed that officers responded to reports of a person shot on Brinton Street near Washington Street in Roxbury.
The victim was rushed to an area hospital. Their condition was not immediately known.
On Tuesday, a man in his late 20s was shot as he sat inside a black Mazda at the corner of Crawford Street and Humboldt Avenue at about 4:30 p.m. He later died at the hospital.
It was not immediately clear Wednesday if both shootings are connected.
Boston Police Commissioner William Gross decried the gun violence during a press conference on Tuesday. He asked the public for help in catching the person responsible for Tuesday's homicide.
"No information is too small, too little. Just please, alert us," Gross said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Boston Police at 1-800-494-TIPS.
