A man has died after being shot Sunday night in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, according to the city's police force.

The Boston Police Department responded to a call for a person shot around 482 Geneva Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, according to a news release. Officers found a man with gunshot wounds, who was taken to a local hospital by Emergency Medical Services, police said.

The man, identified Monday as 21-year-old Christian Thistle-Kavanaugh of Dorchester, was later pronounced dead at the hospital, according to BPD.

Video from the scene showed a section of the road partitioned off by yellow police tape, with several evidence markers on the ground.

An investigation is underway, and anyone with information about what happened is urged to get in touch with authorities.

A young mother was killed in a triple shooting Sunday in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood.

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.
