A short time later, someone flagged down deputies and brought them to another man with gunshot wounds. His wounds were not life-threatening, and he was quickly taken to a nearby hospital.
It is currently unclear whether the two men knew each other.
“2nd Avenue from 132nd to 128th will likely be closed down for a good chunk of the morning while they investigate,” Hoch added.
No arrests have been made, as of this reporting. Major Crimes detectives are interviewing several potential witnesses.
