Friends are identifying the man shot to death on Itasca Street on Thursday as Kenneth "Lil Kenny" Rowell, 25, of Dorchester.

Rowell started rapping when he was barely old enough for first grade. In 1999, New Edition and Bell Biv Devoe founder Michael Bivins picked Rowell as a member of a group of pre-14 rappers originally called Magnificent 7, then the Biv 10 Pee Wee All-Stars.

He was shot in the head, around 11:30 p.m. near Messenger Street, Brian D'Amico reports. And he was declared dead not long after, BEMS Incidents reports.

This is Boston's first murder in nearly three weeks, following a double murder less than a mile away on Rosewood Street.
