Gunfire in southwest Birmingham left two young men shot dead Friday night. The men were killed in two separate shootings.

Around 10:30 p.m., police received a call of a man lying in the alley near 28th Street and Francis Avenue Southwest. Officers responded and found a black male in his early to mid-20s shot dead and lying in the road, said Sgt. Bryan Shelton.

The victim was discovered as someone was walking in the alley, he said. At this time, it is unclear how long the victim had been deceased.

Based on evidence at the scene, Shelton said the victim could have been running from the suspect when he was shot.

The second shooting happened shortly before 11:15 p.m. in the 5400 block of Park Avenue Southwest. Police responded and found a man in his 30s lying in a driveway and suffering from a gunshot wound, Shelton said.

Medics responded and tried to revive the man, but their efforts were unsuccessful, he said.

Police do not know what led to either shooting at this time and have no suspects in custody. Both deaths are still under investigation.
