The shooting took place blocks away from the residence where five month-year-old Alianna Peguero was shot in an apparently gang-related incident. Universal Hub has a map of shootings that have taken place in the southern Boston neighborhoods since the April 21st killing of Luis Troncoso on a basketball court in Southwest Corridor Park, an incident that sparked Boston's summer of gang beef.
