The shootings on Hosmer Street occurred at 10:19 p.m. last night, Boston Police Officer Rachel McGuire said. The victim who was killed was in his 20s and the other two men are expected to survive, she said.
Moments earlier, two men were fatally shot at Bragdon and Ernst streets in Roxbury. A third gunshot victim came forward to police a few hours later and is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been announced.

According to Boston police statistics, Boston had seen 136 non-fatal shootings through Aug. 9, a 43 percent jump from the 95 the city had through the same time last year -- even before last night's burst of violence. The figure also outpaced the city's five-year average of 124, according to police data.
Murders, including fatal shootings, are down overall from last year.

Police in Cambridge say the driver of a car seen leaving the area of a fatal shooting near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at 8:41 p.m. is "cooperating," and they are still actively searching for suspects.

Also overnight, a woman was shot and killed outside an Everett restaurant. The 21-year-old from Malden was an "unintended target," police said.
