Police are investigating two shootings in a Lauderhill neighborhood late Tuesday night that left two men dead and a woman hospitalized.

Lauderhill Police officials said officers responded to the first shooting near the 5200 block of Northwest 18th Place just after 10 p.m. and found one man in a parking lot suffering from a gunshot wound.

The victim was rushed to Broward Health Medical Center, where he later died. Officials have not released his identity.

While police were still investigating the first shooting, a second shooting happened near the intersection of Northwest 56th Avenue and 11th Street just after 11:30 p.m.

When officers arrived they found a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. They were transported to Broward Health Fort Lauderdale, with the male victim dying at the hospital and the female victim in serious condition.

Their identities also haven't been released.

Police believe the man and woman had been at a gathering before the shooting and left in their vehicle. As they were driving, a second vehicle approached and someone opened fire on them before fleeing the scene.

Investigators do not believe the shootings are related and did not release any other details on the shooters involved.

Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
