Crime scene secured; investigation underway in Roxbury – Boston 25 News

Boston Emergency Services said they had transported the patient from the scene of the accident.

A man named Robert, who lives near where the shooting occurred, said he heard what sounded like fireworks.

He said shootings are a problem in that part of the neighborhood.

“They all gather here, it’s a one-way street, and one guy blows his whistle when he sees a cop car coming. You just have to see it to believe it,” Robert said. He continued, “It’s just horrible. When you walk out the door, you have to worry about getting shot by a passing car. I don’t know how to solve the problem, but all I can do is put more pressure on the situation.”

Robert hopes a change could make a difference for Ramsay Park.

“The park needs to be lit at night. There’s a lot of crime there at night, it’s pitch black, the park needs floodlights, it needs to be lit.” Robert continued: “Criminals don’t like light. That’s just a fact. Of course they don’t like light because it makes them visible. Darkness is their element.”
