Police investigating after man shot to death inside Boston home

BOSTON — A homicide investigation is underway after a man was shot to death inside a home in Boston early Thursday morning.

Emergency crews responding to a report of a break-in and shooting at 107 Bloomfield Street in Dorchester around 1:40 a.m. found a male victim in the first-floor apartment of a triple-decker suffering from “numerous” gunshot wounds, according to the Boston Police Department.

The victim, whose name hasn’t been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.

One person was arrested in connection with the shooting, but police didn’t immediately release their name. They are expected to face charges in Dorchester District Court.

Video captured by a Boston 25 News photographer showed police blocking off the intersection of Bloomfield and Greenbrier streets with crime scene tape as detectives worked to gather evidence.

Emily Tomanelli, who lives across the street from the scene of the shooting, told Boston 25 that her basement was broken into two weeks ago, and that news of the shooting is alarming.

“That is really terrifying. I mean, this is a really safe street. To the best of my knowledge, we’ve been here for five years, everyone is super friendly, we know all the neighbors, so it’s very shocking but also kind of scary,” Tomanelli said.

There were no additional details available.
