Boston’s Night of Terror, Two Men Shot, One Dead in Allston Neighborhood Chaos

On Saturday, at around 2:27 a.m., an incident played out in Boston’s Allston neighborhood when two men were ruthlessly shot in what authorities describe as an unexpected surge of violence in the community. According to a Boston Police Department statement, officers rushed to 85 E. Newton Street responded to the call that cut through the calm.

The tragedy unfolded further across from 12 Glenville Ave, behind 161 Harvard Ave, where the victims, found riddled with bullets, lay in a parking lot—one fighting for life and the other, 32-year-old Marco Alfonso Sosa of Lynn, tragically pronounced dead in a somber testament to the city’s swelling crime rate. While one victim’s fight saw him added to the grim roster of shooting survivors, the other’s name now marks a new entry on a different, unreturnable list.

Officers, descending upon the scene with urgency, were met with grim facts: two wounded individuals, a reminder of the multi-faceted stories behind the crime statistics, both shot in a parking lot, their fates diverging at the pull of a trigger. Their stories are narratives broken by violence, leaving one to journey a path marred by physical and psychological scars, and the other an abrupt final chapter, as per Boston Police Department.
