A 25-year-old man was shot and killed after leaving a Somerville club early Saturday morning.

According to police, Ferdinand Saintville of Somerville was gunned down while sitting inside a car at the intersection of Alfred Lombardi Way and Mystic Avenue.

Saintville's friends told police they were driving home from the Good Times Emporium when a van with multiple men inside stopped ahead of them and fired shots into the car.

The victim was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and pronounced dead Saturday morning.

Boston Police tracked the van to Charlestown and arrested 20-year-old Marquis Williams of Randolph. Williams has been charged with accessory after the fact of murder. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday morning at Somerville District Court.

Prosecutors said the search continues for other possible suspects.

“This appears to be another example of a victim being killed by senseless gun violence, which all too often has become a way of resolving conflict amongst young people who have access to guns and a willingness to use them,” District Attorney Gerard Leone said. “We have one man under arrest, and we continue to actively investigate for other suspects who we believe were involved in this shooting.”
