The Boston Police Department reports a man was shot around 7:35 p.m. on Monday on Delhi Street at Violet Street.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, police say.

The shooting happened as residents were gathered in the nearby Mildred Street School for a public meeting on cleaning up the Neponset River.

This is Boston's ninth murder in 2020, and the second in Mattapan - on Feb. 15, Hilton Clark, 18, was shot to death less than a mile away on Colorado Street.
