Boston police are investigating a shooting that left one person dead and another injured late Tuesday night in Roxbury. 

Police said officers responded around 10:58 p.m. to a ShotSpotter activation at 66 Walnut Park Road. While on their way to the address, officers received an update that a person was shot at that address.
