--17-year-old Jose Gurley was shot and killed at Roosevelt Heights, a Brockton housing complex. He was a wide receiver and defensive back on the football team and also played basketball and ran track. The Enterprise reports that he was good at all three.
One witness suggested the gunfire broke out because one gang was trying to reclaim territory from another one.
--Another young man was much luckier after a shooting. A 21-year-old man got shot at Talbot Avenue. The BPD says his injuries are "non-life-threatening."
--A pedestrian got hit and killed by a car at Surface Road and Milk Street early in the morning on Saturday.
--A man drowned near the L Street Bathhouse yesterday afternoon. It's especially tragic because three other people tried to save him, but they couldn't.
--Two armed robberies unfolded yesterday - one at the Lil' Peach on West Newton early yesterday morning, and one at the Domino's Pizza yesterday afternoon. Why, oh why, must robbers keep picking on the pizza guy?
