Following a night of violence, police are investigating Boston's 16th homicide of 2016.
The victim is identified as 31-year-old Andrew Flonory of Boston.
Two other individuals were injured in two separate shootings took place Saturday night - the same night Flonory was killed.
A few candles lie on a sidewalk of Astoria Street in the Mattapan neighborhood, the beginnings of a makeshift memorial for a man gunned down and killed.
"We had a rough night," said Boston Police Commissioner William Evans. "Every homicide is too many. We have a rough two weeks."
Flonory was one of two people shot during a family barbecue in Mattapan. Detectives spent Sunday morning interviewing neighbors, but often, information is hard to get.
"This summer, we really have to double down on our efforts," Evans said. "We need everyone's help."
