When they arrived, they said they found 49-year-old Paul Nolan, of Somerville, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

No arrests have been announced.

Friends say Nolan was a good guy who was trying to turn his life around.

"He was really good with his mom, he took care of her for a while, and ended up in jail," one woman told NBC10 Boston. She said she is still trying to process what happened.

"Nobody should have gone through that, absolutely, even loved ones don't want someone to go through that," she told NBC10 boston. "I just don't know what really happened or if he was at the wrong place at the wrong time."

The shooting is being investigated by the Middlesex District Attorney's Officer, Somerville police and state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office.

Anyone with details on the shooting is asked to call Somerville police at 617-625-1600, Ext. 7250.
