A 56-year-old man shot and killed in Shrewsbury last week was remembered in his obituary as an avid music lover who also loved golf and hockey.
Kevin Doherty was killed on the morning of Aug. 28 after dropping his 6-year-old son off at school. Prosecutors say Doherty confronted Snehal A. Srivastava, 26, and the pair argued over graffiti before Srivastava shot Doherty several times.
Doherty had called 911 just before the shooting and could be heard saying “he shot me” on the open line, according to a police report.
Srivastava has since been criminally charged and is being held without bail.
Doherty was born in Brighton but spent his childhood in Framingham, where he graduated from Marian High School. He eventually earned a degree in geography from Fitchburg State University and worked for many years at Jarvis Appliance in Wellesley.
The obituary recalls Doherty as a “man of many joys” who loved music, golf and hockey.
“Known for his giving spirit, he was a friend to all and truly the life of every gathering — bringing laughter and chatter wherever he went,” the notice reads.
Doherty was engaged to be married at the time of his death and was the father of three children, a 17-year-old, a 14-year-old and a 6-year-old.
Visiting hours for Doherty will be held at the McCarthy, McKinney & Lawler Funeral Home in Framingham from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday. His funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. George Church in Framingham.
