The death is being investigated as a murder, according to the Essex District Attorney’s Office. The office did not say if anyone has been arrested in connection with the killing.
The slain man, a 47-year-old who hasn't been identified, was approached outside of his home near Washington and Sagamore streets near North Shore Community College on Wednesday night, prosecutors said. His assailants put him in a vehicle and returned to rob the man's house.
