BOSTON -- Boston Mayor Thomas Menino vowed to end after-hours parties in the city after a 22-year-old Kentucky woman was shot and killed leaving a Dorchester party early Saturday morning.

The woman, identified by Boston Police as Chiara Levin, originally of Danville, Ky., was in Boston to celebrate the birthday of her great-aunt. Levin had been living in New York City.

Boston police said two other people were injured as they left the party at Geneva Avenue and Westville Street. Police have not released their names.

"It's crazy. It's nuts," Menino told the Boston Globe. "We know all those parties bring bad events in our city. They always end up in some kind of violence."

Police said they are looking for witnesses and asked that anyone that attended the party, or has information about this incident to contact the homicide unit at (617) 343-4470 or call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 800-494-TIPS.
