SOUNDVIEW, Bronx (WABC) — Police are searching for the gunmen who shot and killed two men while they were apparently playing dominoes in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

The gunfire erupted just minutes after 10 p.m. Thursday on Westchester Avenue in the Soundview section.<\/p>\n

Several people ran from the scene, but two men were killed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Police taped off Westchester Avenue, where multiple shell casings could be seen.<\/p>\n

The two men who were shot multiple times, ages 43 and 53, were found a short distance apart, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

The 53-year-old man’s wife said that her husband and the other victim were originally from Jamaica.<\/p>\n

She said her husband was playing dominos with his friend outside. He brought a young relative inside, came out and whatever transpired from that point culminated in the gunfire.<\/p>\n

One man collapsed at the scene, while the other made it around the corner before also collapsing.<\/p>\n

Both were taken to a local hospital but could not be saved.<\/p>\n

Police believe multiple gunmen got away, and no arrests have been made.<\/p>\n
