The two men fatally shot Monday night in Denver had been involved in an argument with an “unknown individual” at a liquor store, authorities said Tuesday.
The names of the two men were not released by Denver police; a third victim, a woman, suffered wounds that are non-life-threatening, the Denver Police Department said in a news release.
The drive-by shootings happened about 11 p.m. on Martin Luther King Boulevard a few blocks west of Colorado Boulevard, police said.
One man died at the scene, and the second man died a short time later at Denver Health Medical Center.
Police are looking for the shooter or shooters who fired shots from, and then fled in, a silver or gray sport utility vehicle.
Police said the victims had been arguing with someone at a liquor store near Bruce Randolph Avenue and York Street.
The victims left the store and drove east on MLK Boulevard, stopping at a red light on Steele Street, police said.
“A silver or gray SUV pulls up, and someone from that vehicle fired into the victim’s vehicle,” the release said.
The names of the victims were not released pending autopsies and notification of family members.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Police Department at 720-913-2000 or Crime Stoppers at 720 913-STOP (7867). Kieran Nicholson, The Denver Post
