Boston police say a man has died after a daytime shooting not far from the city's busy Prudential Center. A suspect is in custody following the shooting Tuesday morning near a hotel at the intersection of Huntington Avenue and West Newton Street.

Boston Police Commissioner William Gross says the victim was shot several times and died after being taken to a hospital. Police did not immediately identify the victim or the suspect.

Several streets in the downtown area were blocked off, and police urged pedestrians and motorists to avoid the area.
