On the same day, a house party in Dorchester ended in chaos when apparently unprovoked gunfire broke out, killing 21-year-old Carl Hentz Belizaire and injuring three guests. The other three victims are expected to recover. Finally, at 5 a.m. Sunday, a brawl involving 15 to 20 individuals took a potentially deadly turn...
