BOSTON (AP) - An argument at an after-hours party erupted in gunfire, killing a woman and prompting the mayor to call for an end to the late-night parties. Chiara Levin, 22, was shot in the head and pronounced dead about 4 a.m. Saturday, police said. No arrests had been made as of Monday.
Levin, who grew up in Kentucky and had recently moved to New York City, was at a downtown bar Saturday night with two male friends where they met another group of three men around last call, authorities said Monday.
The three men, all from Boston, took Levin and her friends to an "after party," on Geneva Avenue in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. She was in a car with her friends getting ready to leave when an argument at the party turned into a gunfight.
Police have ruled out Levin as the target of the gunfire.
"The coward who is responsible for this homicide snuffed out the life of a beautiful young girl by using indiscriminate gun fire," Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said.
Police have not determined if any of the three men were the targets. Investigators say they have been stymied by many partygoers who refuse to talk.

LOL! Why not just ban everything other than state regulated and properly permitted "fun?"
After all, its Boston.
Thomas Menino Mayor of Boston is a total idiot on about the same scale as New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. If either one of these two were in other cities besides N.O. or Boston they wouldn't even get elected dog catcher !!!

correct way to end a party:
Well as Howie Carr likes to say..."Nothing good ever happens after midnight."
Hey- give Menino's "Hip-Hop Round Tables" a chance to work!
Zeros in on the problem like a laser beam!
Using a gun to resolve an argument sounds like a hate crime (it certainly isn't an act of love. Outlaw HATE and the problem will be "solved".
Oh wait, criminals are going to break laws regardless.
Locking up the citizens in their homes under penalty of law isn't going to contribute to a free, civil, or safe society.
So what's the good mayor going to do--city-wide bed checks?
Only when Chavez is in town....
It looks like Boston might want to give the Clintonista "midnight basketball" program another look.
This young woman just won her Darwin award. Why do we need a law to stop that? Because the socialists want more stupid people in the next generation, 'cause they're easier to sucker into the socialist program? Anyone who has reached the age of 22 and is still stupid enough to get in a car driven by strangers she just met at a bar (and do this in the wee hours of the morning in a city she's unfamiliar with to boot) is not playing with a full deck and likely never will be. Stupidity shortens one's life expectancy -- just deal with it, Mr. Mayor.

Chiara Levin
For thoses who have never met Mumbles Menino!

Shot while trying to leap over the curb.
The mayor is a nimnull. As if the shooting wouldn't have happened if only the people involved had gotten to bed at a decent hour. How silly and juvenile.
Hey, why not let him ban late night parties? He did such a good job on preventing people from "conjugating" on Boston Common!
