An investigation is underway after police say a man was fatally stabbed in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood while the city's Caribbean Festival was wrapping up.
The incident occurred just before 9:30a.m. at the corner of Columbia Road and Blue Hill Avenue, which was the end of the Caribbean Festival parade route.
“When I came, they started taping everything off," said Eric Babineau, who works nearby. "There was already a crowd of people because the parade was occurring when it happened.”
According to Boston Police, the man was rushed to a nearby hospital where he died from the injuries.
