2 young men killed in Hyde Park shootings identified

Boston police released the names Tuesday of the two young men killed over the weekend in shootings that investigators say are likely connected. 

Joshua Marshall, 21, of Stoughton, and Reneil Miller, 23, of Hyde Park, both died Saturday night from gunshot wounds, according to police.

Officers first responded around 9:37 p.m. Saturday to the area of 36 Dedham St. in Hyde Park to the report of a person shot, according to police. They found Marshall suffering from an apparent gunshot wound inside a vehicle. He died at the scene.

While on Dedham Street, officers were notified that another gunshot wound victim, later identified as Miller, walked into Milton Hospital, where he later died. The hospital is about a 12-minute drive from the scene of the Hyde Park shooting.

Boston police said the two shooting deaths are likely related and the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting on Dedham Street is ongoing.
