Roxbury apartment murder investigation continues

Investigators photographed the crime scene and took fingerprints from it. They were looking for clues in the murder of a man that happened in the middle of the day.

Boston 25 News spoke to two sisters who live nearby and were too scared to show their faces.

“We just looked out and it was just crazy,” said one woman.

Around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, police received a call that a man had been shot dead. The victim was in an apartment on Weaver Way, about a quarter mile from Jackson Square in Roxbury. By the time police arrived, the man was already dead.

“We’ve never had anything like this, it’s pretty serious,” one woman said.

The sisters say they did not hear any swearing or gunshots. They are also not familiar with the one who lives in the apartment. Both said they were concerned about safety.

“Me. I don’t know how someone gets killed in their own house. It’s scary.”

This is the eighth murder in Boston this year, seven by gunshots and one by a knife wound.

Mayor Michelle Wu released a statement saying, in part: “Nothing else matters in our city if people don’t feel safe and welcome in their homes and communities. We won’t stop until violence is eradicated in our city.”

According to the sisters, so far they have felt safe.

“Sometimes we leave our doors open and unlocked, but we don’t feel safe.”

Boston police have not yet released the identity of the victim or news of the arrest.
