A pair of overnight shootings across Philadelphia, about an hour apart, left two men dead overnight.
And, now, investigations are underway into both deadly incidents.
According to police, the earlier incident happened at about 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday night when a 34-year-old man was shot in an incident that happened near the intersection of 16th and Wallace streets in Philly’s Spring Garden community.
In this incident, officials said, the victim was taken to a nearby hospital where they were pronounced at about 11:50 p.m.
Investigators at the scene recovered six spent shell casings and, police said, bullet holes were found in a vehicle near where the shooting occurred.
A person of interest was apprehended shortly after this incident happened, police said.
Though, police did not immediately provide additional details on the victim or provide further information on what may have led to this deadly shooting.
Then, just after midnight, about an hour later in Southwest Philadelphia, a man was killed a shooting that happened near the intersection of 59th Street and Warrington Avenue, according to police.
In this shooting, officials said, a victim was pronounced shortly after first responders to the scene rushed him to a nearby hospital.
However, in this incident, police were not immediately able to provide any details about how this incident unfolded, further identifying information on the victim or any information about a potential suspect in this slaying.
But, police said an investigation is underway.
According to police statistics, as of Wednesday, July 28, 2026, there were 97 reported homicides in Philadelphia so far this year. This is down by about 27% from the same time in 2025, police statistics show.
