A man was shot to death early this morning on a Mattapan street, police said.

The victim, whose age and identity have not been released, was found face down in front of a fence on Oakcrest Road, said police spokesman James Kenneally. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police have not reported making any arrests.

It was the 20th homicide in Boston this year, which is one more than there was on this date in 2007, Kenneally said.
