DORCHESTER — The quiet of a Boston street was shattered overnight when gunfire tore through a Bloomfield Street triple-decker, leaving one man dead in a hail of bullets.

Police rushed to the scene around 1:45 a.m. after frantic 911 calls of shots fired and a break-in. Inside a first-floor apartment, officers found the victim sprawled out, riddled with gunshot wounds. EMS tried, but there was no saving him. He was pronounced dead where he fell — another body in Boston’s bloody crime wave.

Detectives flooded the block, stringing yellow tape across Bloomfield as stunned neighbors looked on from porches. Crime scene techs combed the floor for casings while homicide detectives whispered to each other in the glow of blue lights. No arrests, no suspect descriptions — just another brutal reminder that in Dorchester, the gunfire doesn’t sleep.
