In the first incident, police said a man in his 20s was pronounced dead at a hospital after being shot on Whittier Street in the Roxbury neighborhood.
A short time later two young men were shot in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant at the corner of Washington Street and Columbia Road in Dorchester. One died at a hospital while the other was said to have non-life threatening injuries. No names were released.
Investigators do not believe the shootings were connected. No arrests have been reported.
