OAKLAND — Two men were fatally shot Friday evening in an apartment they shared, authorities said.
The names of the men, who police said were in their 40s, were not released. Police have not yet said whether the men are related.
The men were found shortly after 11 p.m. Friday inside their apartment in a complex in the 300 block of Fairmount Avenue, a mostly residential neighborhood in the Oakland Avenue/Harrison Street neighborhood south of Interstate 580. The men were pronounced dead at the apartment.
Police believe the men were shot by another person who fled before officers arrived at the apartment.
Police have not released a possible motive for the killings and have not provided any suspect information.
These two killings bring to 80 the number of homicides investigated by Oakland police this year. This time last year, police investigated 122 homicides in the city.
