An investigation is underway, and anyone with information about what happened is urged to get in touch with authorities.
Sunday's shooting comes a week after a triple shooting on the same street left 24-year-old Quaaneiruh Goodwyn dead and two men in their mid 20s injured. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu had called last Sunday's shooting in the area of 263 Geneva Avenue "devastating," while calling on the public to help report any information that would lead to swift accountability and justice in the case.
Goodwyn was the mother of a 5-month-old boy, and was also a rapper and the owner of a clothing line. Police have not announced any arrests in Goodwyn's death.
