He was walking across the street when he was shot, she said at a news conference early Saturday evening.

He had been visiting friends at the complex and eating and drinking in the area, Ryan says. Clay was with one other person at the time of the shooting, she added.

Clay was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital but did not survive. He leaves behind a wife and two children.

Ryan called the shooting an "open and active investigation." She said the shooting does not appear to be random.

Anyone with information is asked to call Massachusetts State Police or Cambridge Police.
