By Herald staff  |   Tuesday, November 30, 2010  |  http://www.bostonherald.com  |  Local Coverage

A 36-year-old man was shot to death in Dorchester last night, inching the city’s murder total to nearly a 10-year high.

The man was gunned down about 5:40 p.m. on Crowell Street, where neighbors said they heard between five and seven gunshots. The man was struck by at least one bullet and taken to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. His death brings the city’s homicide total to 70. The 10-year high was 75 murders, which was reached in 2005.

Anyone with information about last night’s shooting is urged to call Crimestoppers at 800-494-8477, or text message the word “tip” to CRIME (27463).
