A teenager was fatally shot Thursday night in Chelsea, Massachusetts, and police are looking for her killer.

The victim, a 19-year-old woman, was shot on Garfield Avenue. Chelsea Police Chief Brian Kyes released a photo of a person of interest with whom investigators would like to speak.

"This is a pretty horrific scene and anytime there’s an aggravated assault and someone gets hurt, it’s very distressful that someone passes away," Kyes said. "I’m at a loss for words."

The person was seen on foot on Wesley Street, Kyes said.

The victim was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she later died. No further information was immediately available.
