Clerk gunned down in Jamaica Plain convenience store

A man shot in the Tedeschi store, 779 Centre St., this afternoon died not long after being taken to Brigham and Women's Hospital.

Police say they are seeking a white four-door sedan, possibly a Chrysler or Dodge, that was last seen traveling on Centre Street toward the Jamaicaway. Channel 25 reports the victim was a clerk in the store.

The intersection of South and Centre streets is mobbed with police, including a large "crime scene investigation" truck. The area of benches in front of the Tedeschi convenience store, 779 Centre St., which is a popular area for the homeless, is taped off with crime scene tape.

They're also reporting a "department motor vehicle accident" at the intersection of Amory and Centre - an intersection that doesn't exist, though both streets are in Jamaica Plain. It seems plausible that a unit responding to the first was the cause.
