The second victim in a double shooting last week in Boston's Charlestown neighborhood has died from his injuries, according to police.
David Martinez, 28 of Roxbury, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries after the shooting on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 17. Police found Martinez and Wildeny Tejeda-Mejia, 24 of Lynn, with gunshot wounds in a car near 74 Decatur Street. Tejeda-Mejia was pronounced dead on scene.
Boston Police Commissioner William Gross said last week that investigators believe the men were targeted.
“This was not a random act of the neighborhood," Gross said.
