OAKLAND — Two men were fatally shot Friday night inside an apartment they shared, authorities said.
The names of the men, who police said were in their 40s, have not been released. Police have not yet said if the men were related.
The men were found just after 11 p.m. Friday inside their apartment at a complex in the 300 block of Fairmount Avenue, a mostly residential area 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 got to the apartment.
A possible motive for the killings has not been released by police nor has any suspect information.
The two killings bring to 80 the number of homicides investigated by Oakland police this year. Last year at this time police had investigated 122 homicides in the city.
