Boston police investigating after young woman killed in triple shooting

BOSTON — Authorities are investigating after a young woman was killed and two men were wounded in a triple shooting in Boston on Sunday night.

Officers responding to a report of a shooting in the area of Dorchester’s Geneva Avenue shortly before 9 a.m. found three people suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to the Boston Police Department.

The 24-year-old woman, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene.

One of the men was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries, while the other man is said to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu called the incident a “devastating way to the end the weekend.”

Anyone with information is urged to contact Boston police homicide detectives at 617-343-4470.

The shooting is the latest in a series of violent acts in the area.

Earlier this month, a student was shot outside the Jeremiah Burke High School. A 14-year-old was fatally shot on Washington Street in broad daylight last week. A 91-year-old civil rights and education activist was also stabbed multiple times while walking her dog in Franklin Park.
