Norwood police found Lewis-Johnson alive but wounded at the scene. He was flown in a medical helicopter to Massachusetts General Hospital, but did not survive emergency surgery, the prosecutors said Monday.
Neighbors said they were watching the New England Patriots game and heard between six and eight gunshots. They said they initially thought it was just fireworks.
One neighbor said they saw a male victim laying in the street, and Brooks said this week that the area typically doesn't get many shootings.

Local and state police have been investigating the shooting.
