At the scene Tuesday, Gross made a public plea for residents to come forward with information to help detectives solve the deadly shooting.
"We need to send a message that it's not acceptable in the city of Boston," he said.
He said that despite Massachusetts having some of the toughest firearms laws, there are still too many guns on the streets, vowing that "until we have unilateral gun laws in the New England states and southern states as well, we'll continue to fight this battle."
