"People were arguing. They involved guns and stuff," he said. "And now an innocent man was shot."
A neighbor said one of the victims was a father who was well known in the area.
"He was a cool dude around the neighborhood. He used to fix cars. He fixed my cars. He fixed my sister's car," said the neighbor, who didn't want to be identified.
The neighbor said he was coming home from the gym when he heard gunshots and saw the two bodies.
"There was blood, the other guy was next to him but we don’t know him," the man said. "I’m at a loss for words, things happened so quickly."
It's unclear what led up to the shooting but police said it remains under investigation.
"If you saw something, if you heard something, please come forward and give us that information. Your information might be what helps us with this case and brings justice to the families," Hollywood Police Officer Christian Lata said.
