By Globe Staff

Boston Police are investigating a homicide on Seaver Street in Boston's Roxbury section early today.

Police said a man was shot inside a home and then staggered outside, where he was found about 12.30 a.m.

He was pronounced dead at Brigham and Woman's Hospital.

A second gunshot victim in his late teens later sought treatment at Boston Medical Center. He was suffering from a non-life-threatening injury to his hand. Police believe that both men were shot inside the same apartment. The teenager has not cooperated with investigators, police said.

The homicide was the 37th in Boston this year, compared with 38 at this time last year. The victim's age and identity have not been released.

Police urged anyone with information to contact the homicide unit at 617-343-4470 or the CrimeStoppers Tip Line at 1-800-494-TIPS or text the word "TIP" to CRIME (27463).
