BOSTON — Boston's weekend ended in blood and silence.

A man was gunned down on a Mattapan side street late Saturday night. Eighteen hours later, two more were cut down on a Dorchester sidewalk — in broad daylight on Mother's Day — one of them clinging to life. By Sunday night the city was looking at three victims, one in a body bag, and the gunmen still on the loose.

Boston police have offered no names, no suspects, no description.

Around 11:30 PM Saturday, Boston police were called to the area of 28 Woolson Street in Mattapan for a report of a person shot.

They found a man with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead.

Whoever pulled the trigger had already vanished into the night, slipping off the block before the first cruiser lights ever rolled up on Woolson Street.

No arrests. No suspect description. No motive. The victim's name has not been released.

The city barely had time to wipe the blood off Woolson Street before the next round of gunfire tore through across town.

Around 6 PM Sunday — broad daylight on Mother's Day — officers responded to a reported shooting in the area of 69 Kinsdale Street in Dorchester.

They found two people with gunshot wounds. Both were rushed to a nearby hospital. One of the victims was suffering from "serious, life-threatening" injuries, police said.

Their conditions were not immediately available Sunday night.

No arrests there, either. No suspect description. No word from BPD on whether the two shootings — only miles apart and barely 18 hours apart — were connected.

In a span of roughly 18 hours, three people were shot on Boston streets. One is dead. One is fighting for their life. The third is wounded. No suspects are in custody in either case.

Boston police have not released the names of the victims or any suspect information. Anyone with information is asked to call BPD's homicide unit at 617-343-4470 or the anonymous CrimeStoppers tip line at 1-800-494-TIPS (or text "TIP" to CRIME, 27463).
