One person is dead and another is in critical condition after a double shooting in Providence, Rhode Island, Wednesday night.
Police tell NBC10 Boston affiliate WJAR that two men were in a nearby park on Harvard Avenue when someone approached them and opened fire around 10 p.m.
Both victims were taken to the hospital, where one man was pronounced dead. The second victim suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Police identified the men on Thursday, saying 34-year-old Corey Towns was killed, and 48-year-old Cesar Mason was wounded and is now stable at the hospital, WJAR reports.
There have been no arrests, police say.
There were several officers on scene, and yellow crime tape was blocking off the area as detectives searched for evidence Wednesday night. It's not clear at this time what led up to the shooting.
An investigation is underway.
