Boston officers responded to Celebrity Cuts on Washington Street, where a man was shot and killed just after 7 p.m. Wednesday, police and city officials said.
"The fact that this took place inside a barber shop, a hub for the community, that is supposed to be a safe space for everyone to come and feel and look their best makes this all the more devastating," Mayor Michelle Wu said during a news conference following the latest shooting to rock Dorchester.
"This is another heinous act that we've had recently," Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said."We need the public's help with this. This stuff needs to stop, and we're going to make sure that we're focusing in all the places we need to be to make sure we curtail some of this stuff that's going on around here."
