AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- Authorities are investigating two separate shootings early Tuesday morning in southeast Austin that left two people dead.
Austin Police first responded to a scene near Burton Drive and Oltorf Street just after midnight, following a 911 call reporting shots fired. When officers arrived, they found a man lying in the road who had appeared to been shot.
Despite officers and medics' efforts, the man was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Then, around 1 a.m., a 911 call reported a shooting at a homeless encampment near East Riverside and South Pleasant Valley, about a mile away from the first scene.
When officers arrived there, they found a tent with blood around it. Inside, officers found a man who had been shot and killed.
Despite the close proximity, police say there's no evidence yet to connect the two shootings together. No suspect is in custody in either case.
Anyone with information on either shooting is urged to call APD's Homicide tip line at 512-974-TIPS, or Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS.
