BOSTON — One person died and two others were injured in a shooting late Sunday night in Roxbury.
The shooting happened just after 10:30 p.m. on Kensington Park. Three men were shot and taken to the hospital, where one victim was pronounced dead.
This is the latest in a series of violent crimes that were committed city-wide over the weekend. Boston Police Commissioner William Gross expressed frustration, saying people who commit violent crimes are being released on personal recognizance only to commit another crime.
“Just last week, a known gang member, carrying a firearm, firing a firearm, home invasion -- released. When you do things like that, it sets a mentality on these streets that people can do what they want,” Gross said. “This is unacceptable. People who have been locked up for violent offenses and carrying a firearm should not be released on personals, and I could care less if they get sick in jail or not.”
Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said Boston has seen an uptick in violence.
Rollins warned people who commit crimes that they will end up behind bars, where their risk of getting COVID-19 will be higher.
No arrests have been made in the shooting.
