New Orleans Police homicide investigators are dealing with two murders within a little more than an hour of each other.
The first happened on Canal Street and Roosevelt Way, on the verge of the French Quarter and just around the corner from the Roosevelt Hotel and Orpheum Theatre.
A man was gunned down in the street.
EMS rushed the man to a local hospital where he died of his injuries.
Officers are continuing to work the scene for witnesses, clues, and a motive for the killing.
Less than an hour later in Treme off Ursulines and Marais Streets a person was stabbed to death.
NOPD is tightlipped about both of these crimes and no other details have been released.
It is not known if these murders are connected.
