A 23-year-old man is dead after being shot multiple times in Lawrence early Sunday morning.

The man, identified as Jose Colon, of Lawrence, died at Lawrence General Hospital.

Police said they responded to a report of a large crowd and possible shots fired at 2:43 a.m. Saturday at Samms Store at 389 Broadway. Upon their arrival, officers said they dispersed the crowd but did not realize shots were indeed fired until the victim arrived at the hospital shortly thereafter.

Another victim also later arrived at the hospital with less serious injuries, a spokesperson with the Essex District Attorney’s office said.

Massachusetts State Police detectives continue to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.

As of Monday morning, no arrests have been made.
