The man killed was found shot on 11 Emerson Terrace, just around the corner from the initial scene.
Officers also reported finding evidence on Magnolia Street, as well as what could have been the shoes of one of the victims. Police say there are several streets involved in this investigation.
"It's fair to say that it took place over a wide area," Boston Police Superintendent-in-Chief Greg Long said. "But how it played out, we're just still working through that right now, because like I said, we're still talking to witnesses right now."
