Corpus Christi police say two men were killed and two others were hurt early Sunday morning after several shots were fired outside of a club in the 5400 block of South Staples Street.
A 20-year-old Hispanic man and a 20-year-old Black man were found dead from gunshot wounds when police arrived at the scene at 2:37 a.m., according to a news statement from the Corpus Christi Police Department.
A Hispanic man aged 26 and a Hispanic man aged 31 were the other two victims. They went to nearby hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening.
The shooting happened after two guys got into a fight in the parking lot, according to a news release. Robbery and murder detectives were called to the scene to look into what happened.
The police don’t think this was a random act of violence.
