Shooting at BJ's parking lot in Dedham, Massachusetts leaves one dead, one wounded
A 20-year-old man was killed, and another was wounded in a shooting in Dedham, Massachusetts early Wednesday morning.
It happened in the parking lot of the BJ's Wholesale Club on Route 1 around 3:30 a.m. The Norfolk District Attorney's office said there were "multiple 911 calls" after the shooting.
When police arrived, they found two people were wounded. Both were rushed to a hospital. One of the victims, 20-year-old Jaylani Cole of Brockton, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The other victim, a 20-year-old man whose name was not released, underwent surgery and is expected to recover from his injuries.
There's no word yet on a motive for the shooting and there have been no arrests.
"Active and ongoing investigation"
"This is still an active and ongoing investigation. It is always a tragedy when a young life is taken. Our sympathies go out to Jaylani's family and friends," District Attorney Michael Morrissey said.
The business was closed at the time of the shooting. The entire parking lot was sealed off overnight as Massachusetts State Police, Dedham Police and Boston Police searched for evidence.
One SUV was surrounded with crime scene tape. Hours later, a silver sedan, with what appeared to be a bullet hole in the windshield, was towed away.
Anyone with any information about the shooting is urged to call police at 781-830-4990.
Dedham is about 40 minutes southwest of Boston.
