Both sustained multiple gunshot wounds. One died at the scene, and the other later died at the hospital.
A third victim, 14, remains hospitalized in stable condition after arriving as a critical case. Police said a fourth individual, 17, was also shot at but was not struck.
Investigators have not yet determined whether the shots were fired from a vehicle or by someone on foot.
