Just a few blocks away, in the 1300 block of Hadley Street, near Caroline Street, a second person was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators believe both shootings were connected because the shell casings match at both scenes.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Houston Police Department.
