A woman who spoke to NBC10 Boston said she heard the gunfire and saw the two victims.
“I woke up to the sound of some gunshots," she said. "It was really scary for sure.”
According to the witness, after she heard 6-8 gunshots, she looked out her window where she saw one of the victims on the steps of a church and another in the roadway on Magazine Street shortly after midnight.

“I didn’t see them moving or anything. It was super scary for sure to see this is happening in the neighborhood. I recently moved here, as well, so, yeah, it’s definitely not a nice thing to experience,” she added. “I hope, you know, that the situation is resolved and, you know, they can at least understand what happened and what are the reasons behind it and try to solve those reasons."
Other neighbors were in tears hours after police took down the crime scene tape and cleared out the area.
“It could be someone I know or know of," another Worcester resident said.
Police have not released any information on a possible suspect. Investigators say there was a black Tesla in the road near the victims. NBC10 Boston contacted the district attorney's office for more details but hasn't heard back yet.
