New Orleans, La. -
Police are investigating a double shooting that left one person dead and another wounded in the St. Anthony area of Gentilly.
It happened shortly before 8:00 p.m. Friday in the 1900 block of Rapides Street.
"The two men were walking in the block when they were approached by an unknown African-American male who opened fire striking both men multiple times," reads a press release from NOPD. "The 22-year-old man collapsed on the scene and the 20-year-old man ran to a house in the 5300 block of Wilton Street. Both victims were transported to the hospital where the 22-year-old man later died. The 20-year-old man is currently in surgery and his condition is unknown at this time."
Police are withholding the victims' identities until they notify their families.

- Another shooting, around 7:00 p.m. at Newton and Thayer in the Algiers area, left a male victim wounded in his face, an arm and a leg.
