The second victim was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The suspect then ran toward the 10400 block of Mansel Avenue where he attempted a carjacking and shot the man driving the vehicle, Moody said. Arriving deputies detained the suspect without incident and the victim was taken to a hospital in fair condition.
The names of the victims were being withheld, pending notification of relatives.
"The motive and relationship, if any, between the victims and the suspect is unknown at this time," Moody said. No other suspects were sought.
