A man who was shot and killed outside a bar near Fenway Park early Thanksgiving morning is believed to have been an unintended target. Three other people were also injured during the shooting.
Jephthe Chery, 29, was shot and killed outside Who’s on First at around 2 a.m. 
Thursday morning. Chery, a conductor for the MBTA Commuter Rail, would have celebrated his 30th birthday on Friday.
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans told the Boston Globe that Chery was “an innocent” who got caught in crossfire and had nothing to do with the violence.
Evans described the scene as hectic moments after the shooting and said a sergeant had inspected Who’s On First shortly before the shooting began. He said officers were less than a block away.
[Mayor] Walsh said the chaos unfolded after a private party at the bar. Chery had stopped by the bar to see a friend, relatives said Thursday.
Three other men, all in their late 20s, according to Boston Police, were taken to area hospitals to be treated for non-life threatening injuries. Evans told the Globe some of the injured men were known to police, but not Chery.
Dozens of people visited Chery’s parents’ house in Hyde Park where they shared memories of their friend, who immigrated from Haiti to the U.S. and was known as a hard worker who was always smiling.
Jean Chery, Jephthe’s father, told CBS Boston that he lost his best friend.
