New Orleans, La.- Four people were found dead in New Orleans Friday afternoon in two separate cases.
Three of them were discovered inside a home in the 1900 block of Old Prieur Street in the 7th Ward.
The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office identifies the victims as 58-year-old Consuela Lewis, 26-year-old Kevin Lewis and 28-year-old Lachandra Lewis.
The 911 call came out at around 4:15 Friday afternoon. Someone called the police department, asking them to come to a house in the 1900 block of Old Prieur Street.
NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas said, "Upon entering the house we have discovered three victims of murder, two females and a male."
Neighbors say a man lived in the home with his mother and his girlfriend. Police say the male victim was 26 years old. The woman who neighbors believed to be his girlfriend was 28, and the other woman, believed to be his mother, was 58.
All three were shot to death, and police didn't see any signs of forced entry into the home. "We do not see any evidence that the house was tampered or broken into," Serpas said.
Neighbors tell FOX 8 the three had only recently moved into the neighborhood and kept to themselves. They lived in a four-plex on the street.
Serpas says the department didn't receive any calls for service on the street within the past 24 hours, meaning no one called 911.
One neighbor, who didn't want to be identified, told us, "Nobody heard nothing, like it must've happened inside, doors closed when that happened. It had to be inside, nobody heard a thing."
Around the same time police were responding to Old Prieur Street, 60-year-old Milton Womack was shot and killed in the 2700 block of Verbena Street, less than three miles from Old Prieur.
Chief Serpas says Womackwas shot, sitting in his vehicle. "An unknown vehicle comes behind him, essentially blocks him in, if you will, and then one person gets out of the vehicle and fires several times into the car or SUV," Serpas explained.
Witnesses saw the suspect's red car leaving the scene. Serpas says it's critical for people to call Crimestoppers if they know who committed this crime, and same thing goes for the violence on Old Prieur.
"We're going to need some people to talk to us and give us some information about what they may have seen on the street, in the street and in the neighborhood in the last several hours to the last day," Serpas said.
The coroner's office is still trying to determine when the three were killed, because at this point, police haven't been able to determine a time of death, but one neighbor told FOX 8, he saw one of the victims on their front porch Friday morning.
If you have any information that can help investigators in either of these deadly shootings, please call NOPD or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
