A man was killed and two women injured in an overnight shooting in Brockton, Massachusetts, prosecutors said Monday.

The shooting did not appear to be random, according to the Plymouth County District Attorney's Office, which said state and local police were investigating.

The man was identified as Thomas Andrade Jr., a 31-year-old from Brockton. Both women are expected to survive.

The shooting was reported about 1:48 a.m. Monday near Tremont and Essex streets. Prosecutors said more than 100 people had gotten together in the area for hours, with alcohol being drunk and dozens of fireworks launched.

At least six vehicles were hit by gunfire, prosecutors said. They didn't share what they believed led to the gunfire.

Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to contact investigators at 508-941-0200.
