BOSTON — Investigators remained at the scene of a fatal shooting on Saturday night, several hours after a woman was shot and killed Friday night.
Police have arrested Derermell Robinson, 23, of Boston, for two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and possession of class D with intent to distribute in connection to the death investigation.
The fatal shooting happened around 9:30 p.m. Friday on West Concord Street in Boston’s South End.
“We located a female suffering an apparent gunshot wound in the rear of 162 West Concord Street,” said Boston Police Superintendent Gerard Bailey. “It’s a very active investigation going on right now.”
Police had not identified the victim as of Saturday night.
Bailey said Emergency Medical Services crews rushed to treat the woman, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police wouldn’t say if the woman was specifically targeted, but they did confirm there is no danger to the public.
“At this time, there isn’t a threat to any of the community at all right now,” said Bailey. “We are currently urging any citizens with information to please contact the Boston police homicide unit.”
It’s unclear if the shooting happened inside or outside the home.
