WEYMOUTH – Police have confirmed the identity of a Weymouth teenager who was killed in a Dorchester shooting last Tuesday. Phillip Demings, 17, of Weymouth was pronounced dead at the scene after police were called to a small park near the intersections of Bowdoin and Adams streets.

Boston police officers responded to a call for a person shot at around 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 19. They found Demings suffering from apparent gunshot wounds in front of St. Peter’s Parish church, police said. No arrests have been made.

"We can tell from witnesses and video right now that it wasn't a random act by any means," Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said at the scene. “Here we are, a few days before Christmas, and we have this senseless violence that’s going on.”

Police have released a photo of a man they say could be connected to the shooting and are asking for the public’s help in identifying him. Anyone with information is asked to call 617-343-4470.

A visitation with family will be held for Demings on Saturday, Dec. 30 at 10 a.m., followed by an 11 a.m. service at Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall, 49 Winthrop St., Roxbury.
